Brighton Sign Austrian International Left Back

Brighton & Hove Albion have made their third signing of the summer as they are finally successful in their pursuit of Ingolstadt left back Markus Suttner.

The 30 year old Austrian international has joined the Albion on a three year deal for an undisclosed fee believed to be around 4 million pounds.

Suttner will now join up with his team mates at their Austrian training camp, in preparation for Saturday’s friendly against Fortuna Dusseldorf.
The left back will also link up with former Ingolstadt team mate Pascal Gross who joined the seagulls this summer.

Albion boss Chris Hughton said of his newest signing: “Markus is someone we have been aware of for some time, and I am pleased we have managed to complete the transfer at this stage, and he is now able to join us for the second half of the week.

“He has a great level of experience internationally, and in the top divisions in both his native Austria and Germany, where he has played the last two seasons with Ingolstadt, and that experience will serve us well.

“He will add competition at the back on the left side of defence, and I’m now looking forward to working with him.”
