Brighton striker Jurgen Locadia is delighted to be joining FC Cincinnati on-loan.

The Seagulls recalled the Dutchman from his loan spell with Bundesliga side Hoffenheim on 31 January.

Cincinnati can sign him permanently after his loan ends on 5 July.

Locadia joined Brighton from PSV Eindhoven for £14m in January 2018 but struggled to hold down a place in the side.

He scored six goals in 43 appearances for the Seagulls before being loaned to Hoffenheim at the start of the season.

The Dutchman said: "I am looking forward to a new opportunity with FC Cincinnati.

"I want to try to help the team build new memories and be an important player for the team."
