Brighton are closing in on their latest smart recruitment move as they prepare to activate the release clause for Venezia captain Michael Svoboda. The Austrian centre-back is set for a move to the Premier League following a stellar campaign in Italy where he led his side back to the top flight.

Tim Leiweke, who has held prominent roles with two MLS franchises and a rich portfolio of sports brands, has invested more than $100 million into newly promoted Venezia after being introduced to the club's ownership by rapper Drake. The American businessman, alongside his daughter Francesca Bodie, will take prominent roles at the club following its return to Serie A.
