Brighton Women’s summer is starting to look less like a routine refresh and more like a targeted reset.
Nadia Krezyman is due to officially become an Albion player at the beginning of July after Brighton confirmed her move from Dijon. The club’s latest women’s-team news page also places her arrival alongside Emilie Joramo, who will join on 1 July after departing Hammarby.
Individually, both deals are sensible. Together, they give Dario Vidosic a more interesting tactical question: can Brighton add greater penalty-box threat without losing the midfield control that carried them to a historic FA Cup final last season?
Welcome, Nadia!

Why Krezyman Changes The Forward Picture
Krezyman’s profile matters because Brighton needed another direct attacking piece, not merely another squad body. The Poland international, 22, arrives from Dijon after a season in which Brighton’s official announcement notes she played 21 league games.
That is an important baseline. Vidosic’s side have carried technical quality through players such as Fran Kirby and Kiko Seike, but the next step is building more repeatable threat across a longer WSL campaign. Krezyman gives Albion a forward with senior international exposure and enough European grounding to compete quickly rather than simply develop quietly.
There is already a dedicated Read Brighton look at why the Nadia Krezyman signing fits Brighton’s WSL edge. The broader point now is timing. A July 1 start gives Vidosic the chance to integrate her before the rhythm of pre-season hardens.
For a team trying to move from cup-final credibility into sustained league pressure, that matters. Brighton cannot afford to wait until September to discover which forward combinations carry the most balance.
Joramo Gives Brighton A Different Kind Of Authority
Joramo’s arrival looks like the other side of the same plan.
The Norway international spent three seasons in Sweden with Hammarby, and Brighton have already framed her as a midfield addition with top-level experience. That should help Vidosic in games where Albion need to control tempo rather than simply trade attacking moments.
The club have been building a squad with more varied solutions. Joramo adds another passing and pressing profile through midfield, while Krezyman sharpens the front line. That pairing is why the July 1 date feels significant: Brighton are not just adding names, they are trying to bring complementary profiles into the building early enough for the coaching staff to shape them.
Read Brighton has already examined how the Emilie Joramo interview sharpened Brighton’s midfield plan. The next stage is whether that plan survives contact with the WSL’s more physical mid-blocks.
The balance is the key. Brighton do not need a summer built only around individual excitement; they need signings who change the way Vidosic can manage different game states. Joramo should help Albion stay calmer when matches become stretched, while Krezyman gives them another route to punish teams that defend deep and invite pressure.
A Reset Built Around Readiness
The attraction of these two moves is that neither feels speculative in isolation. Krezyman has senior minutes in France and international experience with Poland. Joramo has a strong Scandinavian grounding, senior Norway exposure and a clear midfield identity.
Brighton’s recruitment has often been praised for spotting upside before it becomes obvious. In the women’s squad, the challenge is slightly different. After reaching Wembley, Albion need signings who can protect momentum, raise training standards and give Vidosic options from the opening weeks of the season.
That is why July 1 is more than an administrative date. It is the start of Brighton’s attempt to turn last season’s surge into something more durable.
If Krezyman gives Albion a sharper attacking edge and Joramo brings cleaner midfield authority, this could be the week Brighton Women’s 2026/27 squad starts to take proper shape.
