Liverpool defender set for loan spell

Last updated : 29 June 2017 By Footymad

Joe Gomez is being linked with a loan move to Brighton and Hove Albion, as the Seagulls prepare for life in the Premier League.

The promising 20-year-old made a good start to his Liverpool career after his £3.5m move from Charlton two years ago, but cruciate ligament injury has prevented him from earning a regular first team place.

But a season-long loan at Brighton will not only boost Chris Hughton's side as they step up to the top flight, but also give Gomez much-needed first team football.
