What are the aims for next season?

The 2023-24 season has been landmark for Brighton, featuring Albion's first European campaign and generally spent in the top half of the Premier League before dropping off in recent weeks.

At a special fans' forum hosted by BBC Radio Sussex, boss Roberto de Zerbi and chief executive Paul Barber explored what next year might look like.

De Zerbi: "The target of my club is not my business.

"In my head, we can push more than the target of the club. I push this in the dressing room with the players.

"I want to respect everyone in front of me, and the target has to be clear. We have to have the chance to reach the target. If I don't believe [in] it, then I will say the truth."

Paul Barber added: "We want to be back in European football. Everyone enjoyed it so much on and off the pitch. We want to try and do whatever we can to give Roberto the tools he needs to help us do that again.

"That's not easy because other clubs around us are improving, but it will be our aim to be back in Europe as quickly as we can. That will be from this moment forward.

"We keep planning and working towards that."
