Liverpool's Adam Lallana set to join Brighton next season
For a little while now, Liverpool fans have known this would be Adam Lallana's last season with the club. The midfielder will be going out with a bang, as the Reds captured the English Premier League title and will wrap up the season on Sunday.
It's been an emotional week for Lallana, who has been with LFC since 2014. On Saturday morning, reports have surfaced stating the 32-year-old MF will be staying in the Premier League, as he's set to sign a contract with Brighton.

Per multiple outlets, Lallana will be signing a three-year contract with his new team. He'll head to Brighton after more than 100 appearances with the Reds and 18 goals. This season, his late goal against Manchester United at Old Trafford helped Liverpool leave the stadium with a 1-1 draw.
Lallana has become a fan favorite over the years and is loved/respected by all of his teammates. He recently opened up about his relationship with team captain Jordan Henderson, and the interview was no doubt a tear-jerker.
Best friends, teammates and now Premier League champions.
