Brighton break transfer record for Locadia

Brighton and Hove Albion have parted with a club-record fee reported to be in the region of £16million to sign PSV striker Jurgen Locadia.

The forward has penned a deal to 2022 at the Amex Stadium, as Chris Hughton looks to add goals in the Seagulls' attempts to retain their Premier League status.

Hughton told the club's official website: "We are delighted to have signed Jurgen, and pleased to welcome him to the club. 

"He is a player we have been aware of for some time, and it's been no secret we have wanted to add a striker of his type.

"He is a strong, powerful and quick centre-forward, with a real eye for goal and will increase our attacking options in the second half of the season.

"Jurgen already has a prolific goal record with PSV in the Dutch top division, and it is one we hope he can continue here with us in the Premier League."
