Brighton Pushes for Louza: Moroccan Midfielder on the Brink of the Premier League
Brighton’s bid for Louza could shape the winter transfer window.

Brighton\'s Official Bid for Louza

Brighton has submitted an official bid for Morocco\'s Imran Louza, and Watford awaits a response.

Details and Implications

The bid is reported at 4 million euros, and Louza, 26, is under contract with Watford through 2028.

Louza joined Watford in July 2021, and Brighton\'s interest adds pressure on the Hornets to decide.

Everton has also been linked with the Moroccan, but Brighton is moving ahead.

Watford scouts attended the match to watch Louza, who has become a key figure by distributing the ball and guiding transitions.

This season he has been pivotal, with ball recovery and organization of play between defense and attack.

Punchline: If the deal lands, Watford finally gets serious.

Punchline 2: And if not, Louza will pass it to his agent—the real chairman.
