Returning from a successful loan spell with USG in Belgium, Adingra wasted no time making his mark in the Premier League. In his debut appearance against Luton, the young Ivorian announced his presence with a decisive goal moments after stepping onto the pitch.
Earning his first start against Manchester United at Old Trafford, Adingra showcased his versatility on the right wing and capped off the match with an assist.
Notably, he played a pivotal role in opening the scoring against Liverpool, showcasing his goal-scoring prowess with a spontaneous strike that eluded one of the world’s best goalkeepers.
Adingra has seamlessly integrated into Brighton’s starting XI, consistently delivering standout performances.
His success has extended to the Europa League, where he has notched a goal and provided two assists in four starts. Last season, he gained experience in the competition with three assists but has now elevated his impact, contributing significantly to Brighton’s leadership in the group.
Renowned for his versatility, speed, ball control, and clinical finishing, Simon Adingra has emerged as one of Brighton’s latest gems, drawing comparisons to Kaoru Mitoma’s breakthrough last season in a similar role.
