Florin Andone

Deportivo's Romanian forward was on Brighton's shortlist and the Seagulls are potentially still interested in the 24-year-old's services. He'd represent an excellent purchase and for around £20m in today's inflated market, he could also be a bargain at that price.

He was understood to have asked to leave Deportivo in the summer, as he was worried about a lack of minutes with Lucas Perez making his return from Arsenal on a season-long loan deal.

Andone would also bring international experience and an added edge to the side, having played for Romania at last summer's European Championships in France.

At the age of 24, he ultimately has plenty of time on his side. He would be able to immerse himself in England's top flight, bringing qualities to the Brighton squad which they are currently lacking in abundance and depth.

Florin is a striker with plenty of speed, one that is willing to turn and accelerate towards defenders, taking the game to them and being intent on causing problems for their backline.

Andone netted 12 goals for Deportivo in La Liga last season, but his playing style could be more suited to the Premier League - giving Brighton an effective alternative to their striking options at present.
