Rory Smith Assesses Brighton’s Premier League Top Six Challenge

During the most recent installment of BBC Radio 5 Live’s Monday Night Club, Rory Smith, chief soccer correspondent for The New York Times, addressed the potential for Brighton, described as a “still really young” team, to challenge the established top six clubs in the Premier League. Following their victory over Manchester City last Saturday, Smith was asked if he believes Albion could secure a top-four position or potentially compete for the league title. Smith responded by stating, “If Leicester can do it, then why can’t Brighton? But the stars have to align there,”.
