Brighton & Hove Albion has officially announced the signing of Charalampos Kostoulas, a highly rated Greece U21 forward from Olympiacos. The 18-year-old attacker will join the Premier League club on July 1, signing a five-year contract. This move is a testament to Brighton’s continued investment in youth development and international scouting, as they look to strengthen their squad with talented young players.
New Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler expressed his enthusiasm for the signing, stating: “Charalampos is an outstanding young player, and we’re delighted he is coming to Brighton. He’ll bring fresh attacking options, and we look forward to helping him settle in.” Hurzeler’s endorsement highlights the potential that Kostoulas brings to the team, and fans are eagerly anticipating the impact he will have on the pitch.
Kostoulas had a notable season with Olympiacos, scoring seven goals and providing two assists in 35 matches, helping the club secure a domestic league and cup double. The young forward is known for his pace, creativity, and composure in the final third, making him one of the most promising talents in Greek football. With his skills and experience, Kostoulas is set to make a significant contribution to Brighton’s attacking lineup.
This signing marks Brighton’s third acquisition of the summer transfer window, following the arrivals of Tom Watson and Yun Do-young. Kostoulas becomes the second Greek teenager to join the Seagulls in 2025, after Stefanos Tzimas’ January arrival. As Brighton continues to prioritize youth development and international scouting, fans can expect to see more exciting signings in the future. With Kostoulas joining the team, the future looks bright for Brighton FC.
