Sima heads to France on loan

Brighton striker Abdallah Sima has joined French side Stade Brestois on a season-long loan.

The Senegalese striker is yet to make an appearance for Brighton since joining the club in 2021 from Slavia Prague.

The 23-year-old spent last season on loan at Scottish club Rangers, for whom he scored 16 goals, and he has previously been on loan at Stoke City and Angers.

Technical director David Weir said: "Abdallah had a successful period with Rangers last season and this loan will give him the opportunity to get regular minutes in a good league at a club who finished third in France last season and will be playing in the Champions League this season."
