Deniz Undav signed for Brighton & Hove Albion during the January transfer window, and was immediately loaned back to Union Saint-Gilloise, as the Belgian club continue to battle in an surprising fight for the league title.
The striker officially became a Brighton player on January 31st, in a deal which had been in the works for a while before deadline day. Tony Bloom owns both clubs, so there was little in the way of getting a beneficial deal done which pleases both sides.
Ahead of the transfer being confirmed there had been suggestions that Undav had been distracted, and taken his eye off the ball a little in recent weeks.
The 25-year-old showed that was all behind him at the weekend, as he scored both goals in a 2-0 victory over Royal Antwerp, taking him to 21 goals, and 10 assists, for the season so far.
vodka.HLN quote the Brighton owned player as saying: “Some supporters threw everything at my head. A full bottle of vodka, a lighter, a cigarette… What followed on my part was pure emotion.”
Brighton fans will be happy to know Undav is ok, and he laughed the whole thing off.
