Brighton confirm Jaouen Hadjam signing from Young Boys
Brighton have announced full-back Jaouen Hadjam’s arrival from Swiss champions Young Boys on a five-year contract, with the fee understood to be around £9.5m.
On Tuesday night Brighton announced the signing of full-back Jaouen Hadjam from Swiss champions Young Boys. The club confirmed the defender has joined on a five-year contract.
Ben Jacobs has revealed that the fee is understood to be about £9.5m, with the valuation reported around that figure rather than formally stated by the club. The same reporting frames the move as a permanent addition to bolster Brighton’s defensive options.
The official confirmation establishes that the transfer has been completed and Hadjam is now contracted to Brighton. As with most cross-border transfers, any routine registration and administrative steps would follow the announcement, but the club’s statement that he has signed secures the deal’s status.
Hadjam arrives from a Young Boys side that won the Swiss Super League title, and his designation as a full-back signals further depth for the wide defensive roles. The length of the agreement indicates Brighton’s intention to integrate him over the medium term rather than as a short stop-gap.
No additional terms beyond the contract length were detailed in the club’s announcement. The reported fee of around £9.5m offers a guide to the scale of the investment without confirming the precise structure.
