Brighton & Hove Albion open talks with VfB Stuttgart for the potential signing of midfielder Chema Andrés. The move is described as a surprise deadline-day approach, with Sky Sports cited in one report as saying it remains uncertain whether a deal will be agreed in time.

Chema Andrés is 21 years old and joined Stuttgart from Real Madrid last summer. The reports present the development as part of Brighton’s late-window recruitment activity, while also highlighting that the final outcome depends on whether negotiations between the clubs progress and reach agreement. No confirmed transfer fee, contract length, or player terms are provided in the available summaries, and the focus across outlets is on the initiation and feasibility of the talks rather than a concluded deal.
