On deadline day, Ansu Fati joined Brighton & Hove Albion from Barcelona on a season-long loan deal.
Journalist Albert Montagut, writing in his column for Mundo Deportivo, says if the winger’s decision to join the Seagulls is to get himself fired up, then this move could be justified.
He claims the La Liga side’s decision to allow the 20-year-old to join Brighton is ‘strange’ for various reasons.
Since being promoted to the first team in 2019, Fati struggled with multiple injuries until the end of 2021/22 season.
Taking his medical history into account, Montagut believes the Premier League ‘does not seem like the best place’ for the attacker.
At the Camp Nou, they are hopeful Fati could impress under Roberto De Zerbi’s orders at Brighton, in order to save his Barca career.
However, the journalist states many of them at Barcelona have doubts about it, even though Fati hasn’t even made his debut for Brighton yet.
