Brighton & Hove Albion have already lined up a significant signing for the summer transfer window, securing a deal to recruit midfielder Clement Bischoff from Brondby.
An agreement has been found between the Premier League club and their Danish counterparts, with personal terms for the 19-year-old left-sided player also in place.
Brighton will pay around €8million ($8.33m; £6.65m) to acquire Bischoff and he is set to sign a five-year contract until the summer of 2030, with the move now in the process of being finalised.
The Denmark youth international’s deal with Brondby expires in June 2026 and they have not managed to tie him down to fresh terms. It would be among the club’s biggest sales.
He is the nephew of former Mikkel Bischoff — a former centre-back whose career included stints at Manchester City, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Sheffield Wednesday and Coventry City.
The agreement to sign Bischoff follows a busy winter window for Brighton. The south coast club brought in midfielder Diego Gomez from Inter Miami and defender Eiran Cashin from Derby County and also signed Greek striker Stefanos Tzimas from Bundesliga 2 side Nurnberg, where he remains on loan.
Among the outgoings were Evan Ferguson and Julio Enciso, who joined West Ham United and Ipswich Town on loan respectively, and Jakub Moder, who completed a permanent transfer to Dutch club Feyenoord.
Brighton are 10th in the Premier League and are next in action against Chelsea in the FA Cup on Saturday.
