Brighton and Hove Albion are preparing for a hectic summer transfer window - with key players set to move on.
Albion have enjoyed an excellent Premier League campaign so far and with just four matches remaining, they are on track for European football.
The Seagulls are sixth in the Premier League and tonight they face Champions League chasing Newcastle at James' Park. They then welcome Southampton to the Amex Stadium on Sunday, May 21, swiftly followed by Champions League finalists and title-favourites Man City on Wednesday, May 24. Albion's final match of the term is at Aston Villa on Sunday, May 28. The club will then know their situation with Europe and how to prepare their squad accordingly. They have already broke their club transfer record with the £30m summer signing of Joao Pedro from Watford and are close to sealing free transfer deals for Liverpool veteran James Milner and Mahmoud Dahoud of Borussia Dortmund.
But who is going to depart?… Here's the Spain ace tipped to leave Brighton and 12 other players to exit this summer as things stand.

5. Rob Sanchez
The Spain international has lost his No1 spot to Jason Steele and was omitted from the matchday squad at Arsenal and also at Newcastle. Future at Brighton looks very uncertain. "I can decide the first X1, I can decide the squad. I can give my opinion on the transfer market, but it's not my decision. The decisions are for the club and the players but, of course, I will give my opinion," De Zerbi said when asked if Sanchez will be there next season. Photo: GLYN KIRK
6. Levi Colwill
The Chelsea loanee has been excellent for Brighton this season but will return to Stamford Bridge this summer. Looks a future England international and Brighton may look to sign permanently if they can - but who knows what's going on at Chelsea? Photo: Shaun Botterill
7. Moises Caicedo
Looks almost certain he will leave this summer and has a guide price of £80m+. Arsenal, Man City, Liverpool and Man United are all keen. Fantastic player and almost impossible to replace. Photo: Stuart MacFarlane
8. Alexis Mac Allister
The World Cup winner is another top talent expected to exit. Has been excellent in Albion's midfield and will take some replacing. Liverpool are currently favourites to sign him for around £70m Photo: Julian Finney
