Premier League club make player decision amid Tottenham and Arsenal links
Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in Simon Adingra has been firmly rebuffed by Brighton & Hove Albion, according to HITC.
The North London club, along with Arsenal, had made inquiries about the Ivorian winger, but Brighton is not willing to part with the 22-year-old talent.
Adingra, who joined Brighton from Union SG last year, had an impressive debut season in the Premier League. He scored seven goals and provided three assists, showcasing his potential and ability to impact games significantly.
His strong performances continued into the new season, as he scored in Brighton’s 3-0 victory over Everton in the Premier League opener.
The winger’s performances have caught the eye of several top clubs. Tottenham and Arsenal both reached out to Brighton this summer, exploring the possibility of acquiring Adingra.
However, Brighton has made it clear that Adingra is not available for transfer. The club views him as an integral part of their plans, and manager Fabian Hurzeler is determined to keep him at the Amex Stadium.

In response to their inability to secure Adingra, Tottenham moved quickly to bolster their attacking options. The club signed Wilson Odobert from Burnley to strengthen their winger positions.
Odobert’s arrival suggests that Tottenham’s pursuit of Adingra may have been part of their broader strategy to enhance their squad.
Tottenham's move to sign Adingra shows they're eager to add top talent that can make a difference right away.
On the flip side, Brighton's choice to hold onto Adingra shows they're serious about keeping their key players while they work on building their success.
Adingra staying with Brighton will be important as they try to become a stronger competitor in the Premier League.
It appears that Tottenham are unlikely to add further attacking options beyond Odobert. The club’s focus now shifts to integrating their new signings and making the most of their existing squad.
As for Adingra, his future remains firmly with Brighton for the time being, and he will be expected to continue his impressive form for the Seagulls.
