Brighton winger Brajan Gruda has returned to RB Leipzig on loan for the 2026-27 season after an impressive six-month spell at the club.
The 22-year-old, who joined the Seagulls from Mainz 05 in August 2024, spent the second half of last season on loan at the Bundesliga side - making 14 appearances, scoring three goals and registering three assists.
Gruda, who is a Germany Under-21 international, has featured 45 times in Fabian Hurzeler's first team.
Brighton's sporting director Mike Cave said: "Brajan had a good second half of the season with Leipzig and he was keen to explore the opportunity of remaining there for the coming year.
"This is a move that allows Brajan to continue to secure regular playing time at a good level, in an environment he knows well."
