A wonderful piece about Brighton's academy from Andy Naylor in The Athletic.
It's behind a paywall, so you'll only be able to read it with a subscription.
In my opinion The Athletic is blossoming into a very good read with some excellent articles.
Andy Naylor's writing about the Albion is certainly improving and becoming more in-depth and less main stream.

Brighton & Hove Albion have become one of the most effective talent factories in the Premier League.
They are outperforming every other club at bringing through their own players, even though they are 16th in the real table and have a fight on their hands over the coming weeks to stay up.
This season so far, Brighton have given 30.8 per cent of minutes played to players employed by the club for at least three seasons from the ages of 15 to 21. According to data from the CIES Football Observatory, that is more than next-best Manchester United (25.6%), Chelsea (24.4%) and Arsenal (21.2%).
