The club have also retained captain Maisie Symonds on a new long-term contract. Symonds is Brighton’s longest-serving player and has made more than 100 appearances for the club.
Facing PSG should give Vidosic an opportunity to assess his new-look squad against strong European opposition. It will also provide supporters with their first chance to watch Albion at the Amex before the new season.
