Manchester United defender Gabby George is closing in on a move to Brighton before the start of the Women’s Super League season.
The 29-year-old has a year remaining on her contract after United activated an option clause in January.
It means Brighton are expected to pay a six-figure fee for the versatile defender, who joined United in 2023.
It is understood that George is seeking regular game time, and she would be a valuable addition to Brighton’s ambitious squad.
During her three-year United stay, George has made more than 50 appearances and was part of the squad who won the Women’s FA Cup in 2024.
George graduated from Everton’s academy and played over 100 games for them before her move to United.
She has three caps for England and brings experience to a Brighton squad who are strengthening yet again this summer.
Dario Vidosic’s side have already added Switzerland captain Lia Walti and midfielder Emilie Joramo from Hammarby, among others.
Brighton finished seventh in the WSL last season and open this year’s campaign at home to Arsenal on Sunday, 6 September (12:00 BST).
United confirmed on Monday that manager Marc Skinner had left his role by mutual consent and they are currently looking at candidates to replace him.
