Brighton & Hove Albion Premier League squad: Dunk and Welbeck retained, Izquierdo let go

The 20 Premier League clubs that took part in the 2020/21 season have submitted lists of players they will be retaining in their squads, and ones they will be releasing.

All clubs must submit their respective lists by June 23.

It is worth noting that player contracts typically will run until June 30, and therefore players who are soon to be out of contract are still on the 'retained' list at the time of publishing.

Brighton & Hove Albion showed signs of progress under manager Graham Potter.

The perennial strugglers finished 16th but 13 points clear of the relegation places, with memorable victories over champions Manchester City as well as 2020 champions Liverpool.
