Jakub Kamiński is said to be on the verge of a move to England.

According to Express.de, the 24-year-old could join Brighton & Hove Albion “within a few days”, with the English side reportedly prepared to activate his €20 million release clause.

Kamiński has previously admitted that it is his dream to play in the Premier League.

“At the moment I’m a Köln player, I still have four years left on my contract. If there is a chance to move forward, then it’s natural that every footballer wants to take that step. Sometimes such opportunities come only once in a career,” he said earlier this month.

"My dream has always been to play in the Bundesliga, but after 104 matches and four seasons, my next dream is the Premier League. It’s the best league in the world, I would like to test myself there and see how I perform,” the midfielder added.

1. FC Köln paid €5.5 million to make his loan move from VfL Wolfsburg permanent following the 2025/26 season.

The Polish international has scored seven goals and provided five assists in 36 appearances for the “Billy Goats”.
