Brighton striker Andi Zeqiri

Brighton striker Andi Zeqiri has gone abroad and joined Swiss Super League FC Basel on a season-long loan.

The forward was on the radar of Cardiff City earlier in the window, but he has now sealed a move back to his homeland.

Seagulls pathway development manager Gordon Greer told the club website: “Having broken into the Swiss national squad, Andi is keen to play regular football ahead of this year’s World Cup in Qatar.

“We cannot guarantee him that here, so this move gives him the chance of that, while also continuing his development.

“We wish him well for the new season, and will be monitoring his progress throughout the campaign.”

He'll be in the limelight at his home country for world cup so makes sense
