Brighton signed Denmark midfielder Matt O’Riley from Scottish champions Celtic in a deal worth a reported £25 million ($33 million) on Monday. The 23-year-old agreed to a five-year contract with the Premier League club and will move to the Amex Stadium subject to international clearance.
O’Riley featured more than 100 times for the Hoops after arriving from Milton Keynes Dons in 2022, scoring 27 goals and helping Celtic win the Scottish Premiership three times. He hit 19 goals and also contributed 18 assists during Celtic’s title-winning campaign last term. Celtic had rejected several offers for O’Riley from Europa League holders Atalanta and Spanish club Atletico Madrid before finally accepting Brighton’s bid.
We can confirm that Matt O’Riley has joined English Premier League side, Brighton & Hove Albion.
Everyone at #CelticFC would like to thank Matt for his vast contribution and efforts for the Club.
Best of luck and thank you, Matt
