Latest from Your Site News' Zinny Boswell and Elliot Cook:

Brighton have verbally agreed a deal with Leeds to sign centre-back Pascal Struijk.

Leeds sources have told Your Site News the fee is undisclosed, but it is understood to be around 20m.

Struijk played a key role in keeping Leeds up on their return to the Premier League and they did not want to lose him, but the defender was entering the final year of his deal and this was their last chance to cash in on him.

Brighton sold centre-back Jan Paul van Hecke to Spurs for 52m but he is right footed and Struijk is a left-sided defender which suggests he is not a direct replacement.

Brighton are also pursuing a move for Spurs defender Luka Vuskovic and their last offer was worth 45m. They also have an interest in Atalanta defender Honest Ahanor.
