[Albion] Clement Bischoff - 19-year-old Brondy midfielder

[pigmanovich]

Set to join us in the summer for £6.65m, per the Athletic.

Brighton & Hove Albion have already lined up a significant signing for the summer transfer window, securing a deal to recruit midfielder Clement Bischoff from Brondby.

An agreement has been found between the Premier League club and their Danish counterparts, with personal terms for the 19-year-old left-sided player also in place.

Brighton will pay around €8million ($8.33m; £6.65m) to acquire Bischoff and he is set to sign a five-year contract until the summer of 2030, with the move now in the process of being finalised.

The Denmark youth international’s deal with Brondby expires in June 2026 and they have not managed to tie him down to fresh terms. It would be among the club’s biggest sales.

He is the nephew of former Mikkel Bischoff — a former centre-back whose career included stints at Manchester City, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Sheffield Wednesday and Coventry City.

No product placement please. His name is Clement Caramelised Biscuit on here.

Another classic Brighton signing. Sounds good

If he signs, we must avoid being overly critical of any sub-par performances.

In other words, we mustn't bash the Bischoff.

...and wouldn't you know, he can play at left-back! Can't actually open his Transfermarkt profile to check how many times he's been used there though. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/clement-bischoff/profil/spieler/953893

Edit: Looks like he's exclusively featured as a left-midfielder for Brondby's first team, but I'm sure he gets up and down the pitch.

Ahead of the game as usual. We really are run absolutely terribly

Sounds tasty.

Initial reactions on social media suggest that Brondby fans are devastated to lose Bischoff, especially for a cut-price fee.

Some threads praising Bischoff and highlighting his stats:

 

[Bodian]

What do we want a midfielder for? Fab doesn't believe in midfields.

Presumably he's cover for a defender or winger or something?

 

[Reagulls]

will we risk it for a biscuit?

He's a decent crosser of the ball?
Won't fit in here then!

 

[macbeth]

suspect he may be the lamptey replacement by the sounds of things

Looks like a Barco replacement.

 

[jackalbion]

He's 28?

EDIT: I CAN'T READ, AND I'M AN IDIOT

 

[pigmanovich]

He's 28?

He turned 19 in December, he'd made 28 key passes this season at the time the post was made

My Danish friend who supports FC Copenhagen says "He's so good offensively but defensively he's struggling a bit".

Proper Brighton then

So we’ve sold Barco and replaced him with Barco?
