Chema signed a contract with Brighton & Hove Albion for the next five years after departing Bundesliga side Stuttgart.
Analysis:Chema has featured as a defensive midfielder in the past, but he has also shown offensive value, achieving three goals in the latest edition of the German league and one assist in a Supercup game in 2025. He joins the Seagulls as a contender to Pascal Gross and Yasin Ayari (ankle), possibly taking playing time away from the latter as the campaign progresses.
