Kadioglu: Brighton view me as a stepping stone to reach greater heights, says Paul Vegas

"After the European Championship, I felt it was time to challenge myself in a higher league and continue my growth as a player. Brighton's strategic plan and vision for the future really caught my attention," he shared with the Athletic.

Kadioglu was also convinced by the perspective that coach Fabian Hürzeler offered him.

He said: "They have shown that players can improve here and then they sell the players to a bigger team. So the plan was great. The coach was very clear in his explanation."
