Brighton land Chelsea striker

Leon Knight has signed for Brighton

Brighton have beaten Queens Park Rangers to the signing of Chelsea striker Leon Knight.

The 20-year-old, who has been on loan with the Seagulls, turned down Rangers after both Second Division clubs agreed a deal with Chelsea.

Knight had a loan spell with QPR in 2001 and Rangers' boss Ian Holloway tried to persuade him to return.

But Knight opted to stay at the Withdean Stadium, where he scored twice against QPR on Monday.

Holloway made his move for Knight after selling midfielder Richard Langley to Cardiff last week and had hoped to have him on board by the time his side faced Steve Coppell's men.

Knight was once tipped as a future replacement for Gianfranco Zola at Chelsea.

But he has been unable to establish himself in the first-team at Stamford Bridge.

As well as his spells with Rangers and Brighton, he has been loaned to Huddersfield and Sheffield Wednesday.

Okay, so he's signed a 2 month loan deal - I was under the impression we'd agreed a fee with Chelski, so it's just a loan, right?

 

[Deano's Right Foot]

Oooh - story last updated 24th July 2003 - time tunnel!!

 

[London Calling]

Back to Sammy Seagull it is today news I refer to my other post and Coppell's quote

[AlbionFan]

Come on, we need to know

 

[Deano's Right Foot]

The other "new" BBC article is the one from 24 July when we signed him on loan - this really is getting tiresome, or have I missed something?

 

[tinx]

Well having been away for two days and reading what has been said I get the impression its quite a positive that Leon is gonna sign. I reckon he could be a total hero.

 

[Deano's Right Foot]

I agree. he will sign and he will be a hero! I'm very excited and just waiting for the final official confirmation.
