Brighton has signed midfielder Matt O'Riley from Scottish champions Celtic for a fee reported to exceed £25m.

The London-born Denmark international has agreed to a five-year deal with Brighton, running through June 2029.

At 23, O'Riley scored 27 goals in 125 appearances for Celtic and won six trophies, including three Scottish Premiership titles.

The transfer fee sets a new Scottish record, exceeding the amount Al-Ittihad paid for Jota last summer and Kieran Tierney's £25m move to Arsenal in 2019. 

It also marks a substantial profit for Celtic, who acquired O'Riley from MK Dons for around £1.5m in 2022.
