The Premier League's record goalscorer, Alan Shearer, revealed his dream XI on Thursday [June 1].
And a Seagulls star features in the team following a stunning season on the south coast.
Albion’s sixth-place finish means the club will compete in Europe for the first time in their 122-year history next campaign.
Shearer also selected four heroes from champions Manchester City, two from his hometown club Newcastle United, and a pair of players from runners-up Arsenal.
Here’s who the 52-year-old named in his 2022-23 Premier League team of the season.
