Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi admits that his team will lose players this summer, expecting Moises Caicedo and Alexis Mac Allister to leave, but advises Kaoru Mitoma and Pervis Estupinan to stay.

The Seagulls were in stunning form on Sunday afternoon as they thrashed Arsenal 3-0 at the Emirates to stay on course for a finish in the European places.

De Zerbi’s men went sixth with the three points in north London thanks to a fantastic second half performance which saw Julio Enciso, Deniz Undav and Estupinan score the goals.

A number of Brighton’s players have been linked with moves away, most notably Caicedo being a target for Arsenal and Chelsea among others, while Mac Allister touted for a switch to Liverpool.
The Italian is aware that those clubs may well plunder his for his standout stars, but he suggests the likes of Mitoma and Estupinan, who have also been linked with moves, stay where they are for now.

‘For sure we will lose some players, maybe Caicedo and Mac Allister,’ De Zerbi told Sky Sports. ‘We have to be ready to bring in more good players and for the others; Mitoma, Estupinan, I think for them the best solution is to stay with us.

‘I don?t know if they are ready to play in the big teams. You have to arrive ready in the head. We can offer them the possibility to progress and to improve.’
