Igor News: Returns to Brighton

Igor has been recalled by Brighton after spending the first half of the season on loan at West Ham United, the club announced Tuesday.

Igor is back to his parent team to give them an additional center-back option alongside Jan Paul van Hecke, Lewis Dunk and Olivier Boscagli. The Brazilian made only four EPL appearances earlier in the season, racking up 10 clearances over 103 minutes of play. He'll aim to be more active in his return to a side for which he averaged 3.2 balls recovered and 2.9 clearances per contest during the previous campaign.
