Brighton technical director David Weir said: "He's a strong technical player and one we are excited to bring to the club.

"We look forward to seeing him continue to develop with us."

Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler added: "Georginio is a player who has the capabilities to get fans off their seats and really showed what he can do in English football with Leeds last season - but I have known about him since he played in Germany for Hoffenheim."
