According to reports, the player has reached a "verbal agreement" with Brighton after speaking with the club's hierarchy. However, the deal remains complicated, and Brighton are waiting to see if their initial offer is rejected.
A potential switch to the South Coast could be influenced by a separate transfer deal involving Jan Paul van Hecke, a player Brighton are reportedly trying to sign. The Dutchman's current club, Tottenham, have made two bids for him, but Brighton are holding out for a higher offer.
