Brighton agree club-record £14.1million fee to sign PSV forward Locadia

Brighton have agreed a club-record £14.1million fee for PSV Eindhoven striker Jurgen Locadia.

The 24-year-old is due to arrive on the south coast for a medical on Friday ahead of his agreeing a four year contract.

Brighton will pay an initial £9m for the attacker, with the remaining £5m to be paid as part of a bonus structure.

Locadia has been in emphatic form in front of goal this season, netting nine times in 15 Eredivisie matches.

The Dutchman is currently sidelined by a calf injury, which he sustained against Ajax in December, but is scheduled to return next month.

The move will see Locadia reunited with his former team-mate Davy Propper, who joined the Seagulls in a £10m switch back in the summer.

Brighton boss Chris Hughton will be pleased once the deal is wrapped up having made a forward player his priority in the window.

Hughton's men have only managed 17 goals in the Premier League so far this season - the second lowest of any side in the division.
