He is due to sign a four-year contract tomorrow, subject to the medical check in Brighton.

From the summer, however, the U20 international will initially be loaned to a club on the continent so that he can collect enough points to obtain a work permit for the UK the following season.

Brighton did similarly with Kaoru Mitoma (27), who initially spent a season at Union St.-Gilloise in Belgium in 2021. Only then could he play in the Premier League.
