Brighton has signed teenage forward Charalampos Kostoulas who gave up a Champions League season with Olympiakos to play in the Premier League.

Brighton have signed 18-year-old forward Charalampos Kostoulas for £29.78m (35m euros) from Greek side Olympiakos. The teenager has signed a five-year contract that will start on 1 July. The deal represents by some distance the highest fee ever received by a Greek club, beating the £16.6m Wolves paid to sign Daniel Podence from Olympiakos in 2020.

Brighton & Hove Albion have officially secured the signing of Charalampos Kostoulas from Greek champions Olympiacos. The 18-year-old forward's move to Brighton marks a significant step in his burgeoning career. Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler said, “Charalampos is an outstanding young player and we’re delighted he is coming to Brighton.
