L. Dunkas extended his contract with the "Brighton" team © Brighton

"Brighton" retained one of the team's key players within its ranks.

The team captain and leader in defense Lewis Dunk has signed a new contract until 2026.

Last season, the 31-year-old Englishman was the player with the most passes in the Premier League. He also received his first call-up to the England national team, but couldn't attend due to injury.

The center-back was also included in not just one symbolic national team, having achieved a historic eighth place with the "Brighton" team.

"Brighton" so far has only sold Alex Mac Allister in this offseason.
