Brighton & Hove Albion’s Abdallah Sima has been out on loan since arriving at The Amex in 2021 and the Seagulls allowed him to join Rangers on a temporary deal in the last window.
The forward has scored nine goals from 15 games this season for Rangers and his impressive form has pleased Miloslav Brožek. DNES interviewed the latter and say he’s the Brighton player’s ‘long-time football discoverer’.
The Seagulls signed the Senegal international from Slavia Prague and Brožek worked as a scout at the Czech Republican side from 2021 to 2023, before taking up the managerial job at SFC Opava back in April.
Brožek has revealed he’s in regular contact with the attacker and believes the latter’s career has not stalled since he joined Brighton. In fact, he suggests the player would have found it hard to turn down an opportunity to join the Premier League side.
“I wouldn’t agree that his career has stalled. When he left for England, I was glad that he had already provided for himself in some way. He made a big transfer, got a big contract, which is the basis for everything else,” he said.
“As a nameless youngster, he experienced an extremely dynamic heyday, and it’s not easy for anyone to deal with that kind of attention.”
According to DNES, Sima has ‘matured’ at Rangers and Brožek has backed him to make a name for himself when he returns to Brighton. The latter believes he could fit perfectly under Roberto De Zerbi at The Amex.
“Where it’s physical, Sima has always dominated. If he had a weakness somewhere, it was his technique and maybe his first touch, but he always made up for it with tremendous dynamism and explosiveness. But beware: the older he gets, the more technical he gets. That’s why I dare to say that he is growing for the Premier League,” Brožek explained.
