Brighton and Hove Albion have agreed a new five-year contract with versatile midfielder Diego Gomez.
The Paraguay international joined Albion from Inter Miami in January last year in a deal reported to be worth about £14 million.
Albion said this morning (Friday 14 August): “Diego Gomez has signed a new five-year contract with an option for an additional year.
“The 23-year-old joined us in January 2025 and has made 56 appearances, notably scoring 10 goals in all competitions last season.”
Brighton sporting director Mike Cave said: “Diego has been an important player for us since his arrival and we’re pleased to have secured his long-term future.
“He has adapted to Premier League football seamlessly and embedded himself as a key player in the squad.
“We believe Diego will continue to develop this season and be an important player for us in achieving our goals this season and beyond.”
Albion added: “The Paraguay international came through the youth ranks at Libertad in his homeland, before making the move to Inter Miami in June 2023.
“He quickly established himself as one of the most exciting talents in the MLS (Major League Soccer), with Albion signing him 18 months later.
“He has represented his country at senior level on 20 occasions, with four of those appearances coming at the World Cup earlier this summer.”
