José Izquierdo was a fan favourite at Club Brugge and his displays for them convinced Brighton & Hove Albion to sign him in 2017.

The winger has been hit with several injuries during his time in England and a knee injury forced him to miss the 2019/20 season.

Graham Potter has not included the 28-year-old in his plans for this term, forcing him to make appearances for the Seagulls U23 in the Premier League 2.

Izquierdo is also included in Antwerp’s transfer ‘wish list’ as the Colombian is at a ‘dead end’ at The Amex. The websites explains there’s a possibility for the wideman to sign for the Belgian side in the ‘final phase’ of the window.

The South American is a free agent in the summer and there are mixed claims about Brighton’s stance on the player.

Some sources state the English club would like to get ‘the most out of’ Izquierdo’s exit, while on the other hand, they explain the Seagulls would be happy to get rid of the winger.

According to Voetbal Belgie, Brighton would prefer to recover a part of the investment they made for his signing.

Should Potter’s side make Izquierdo available for low cost or free, Antwerp would ‘like to take up the challenge’ of signing him.
