Brighton's starting XI against Leicester City shows how good they're in the transfer market, with the club boasting an extraordinary recruitment policy.

The Seagulls continued their excellent start to the season by thrashing Leicester 5-2 on Sunday.

They opened the scoring through an own-goal by Luke Thomas, with Moises Caicedo, Leandro Trossard and Alex Mac Allister also getting on the score-sheet in a thumping home win.

Graham Potter finds his team in the top four at this early stage of the season and following the result, a social media post emerged online highlighting the club's brilliant recruitment.

@scoutedftbl shared a tweet putting a spotlight on the nationalities and previous clubs of Potter's starting XI against Leicester.

And it highlights Brighton's efficiency in the transfer market and their extensive scouting network.

They've recruited from the lower leagues by snapping up Danny Welbeck from Watford, Adam Webster from Bristol City and Solly March from Lewes.

Brighton have explored Europe, too, poaching the likes of Robert Sanchez from Levante, Joel Veltman from Ajax, Pascal Gross from FC Ingolstadt, Trossard from KRC Genk and Enock Mwepu from Red Bull Salzburg.

What's more, the Premier League side have also dipped into South America, shrewdly snapping up star players Mac Allister and Caicedo from Argentinos Juniors and Independiente del Valle respectively.

Brighton have an incredible knack of acquiring gems from England, Europe and beyond, with Potter tasked with developing them.

As of now, he's doing a great job, with Brighton showing clubs in the Premier League how to do business.
