Brighton Football Club has officially offered a contract to the young Iraqi player Lolan Dzhe Yi, aged 15, aiming to sign him for a three-year term and promote him to the youth team starting next season. This move reflects his recent technical progress. Sources close to the player revealed that the club's management decided to present this offer to Dzhe Yi, currently playing in the youth category, marking his first official contract after his recent impressive performances, where he was also appointed team captain. Since the current season, the player has participated with the youth team in the English Youth League alongside regular appearances with the juniors, prompting the club to secure his continuity with a contract lasting up to three years. The club intends to continue developing him with the goal of offering a professional contract with the first team after the current contract ends and upon reaching the eligible age, allowing him to play with both the youth and reserve teams as part of the club's development pathway. Dzhe Yi is currently reviewing the offer and has not yet reached a final agreement regarding the official signing, with ample time remaining to notify the club of his decision. Regarding national teams, his name was submitted to the youth national team coach after completing administrative procedures for his inclusion. The coach expressed admiration for his skills and officially invited him to join the preparatory camp for the Gulf Cup and AFC U-17 Championship qualifiers. However, the club declined to release him due to his recent recovery from a minor injury and the need to complete his physical rehabilitation. Completing the agreement with Brighton is expected to mark a significant milestone in the young player's career, as he aims to establish himself within the club's age groups while continuing to pursue his national team prospects.
