Brighton have agreed to sign Paraguayan international Diego Gomez from MLS side Inter Miami next month.
The 21-year-old midfielder will join the Premier League club on January 1 when the transfer window opens.
He moved to Inter Miami in July 2023, making 28 appearances this season and scoring six goals as they qualified for the Club World Cup the following summer.
Gomez also represented Paraguay at the Paris Olympics, helping them reach the quarter-finals before losing to Egypt on penalties.
Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler said: “We look forward to working with Diego very soon. He has already made a real impression both at club and international level.
Like all new players who come to us from abroad, he will need a period of adjustment to the Premier League, but I feel he can make a big contribution and I am looking forward to working with him.
Brighton manager David Weir added: “He is a dynamic midfielder who can provide goals and assists.
“He’s just recently finished his MLS campaign, so we’re sure he’ll be ready to fight for a place in the team when he joins us next month.”
