Paraguay’s Gomez Signs New 5-year Brighton Deal

Paraguay international Diego Gomez has signed a new five-year deal with Premier League side Brighton. The 23-year-old midfielder moved to Brighton from MLS side Inter Miami in January 2025 and has scored 11 goals in 56 appearances for them. He was a member of the Paraguay team that reached the last 16 of the World Cup in North America and started in their 1-0 defeat to France that saw them bow out. "Diego has been an important player for us since his arrival and we're pleased to have secured his long-term future," AFP quoted Brighton sporting director Mike Cave as saying on Friday. "He has adapted to Premier League football seamlessly and embedded himself as a key player in the squad. "We believe Diego will continue to develop this season and be an important player for us in achieving our goals this season and beyond."
