Hadjam joins the English club following his departure from Young Boys, where he developed into one of the Swiss Super League's standout defensive talents. The left-back's move to the south coast represents a significant step in his career as he transitions to top-flight English football.
The defender's signing marks Brighton's continued investment in bolstering their squad ahead of the new season. At 23, Hadjam brings both youth and experience from his time in Switzerland, where he established himself as a regular starter for the reigning champions.
Hadjam is the latest Algerian international to join English football's elite division, following in the footsteps of other North African players who have made their mark in the Premier League. His addition to Brighton's roster provides manager Roberto De Zerbi with additional depth and versatility in defence.
The left-back's five-year deal reflects Brighton's confidence in his potential to make a sustained impact at the club. His arrival comes as the Seagulls prepare for their upcoming campaign in both domestic and European competition.
