Brighton are set to sign Wolves target Jurgen Locadia.

Brighton are on the verge of completing a deal to sign PSV Eindhoven striker Jurgen Locadia, report Dutch outlet Voetball International.

A fee of 16 million Euros has been agreed (£14.1 million), and the move is a big one for the Seagulls hopes to stay in the Premier League.

It is a transfer which should make big spending Wolves jealous, as the Championship leaders were on the verge of signing Locadia last summer.

A deal appeared set to go through before PSV pulled the plug shortly before the transfer deadline, SkySports reported.

Locadia has scored nine goals in 15 games and provided six assists, and has helped PSV move five points clear at the top of the Eredivisie.

Wolves are no worse off for missing out on Locadia, but the Dutch striker would still be a shrewd acquisition for the club.

Locadia is a player who could have contributed towards both their promotion campaign this season and their attempts to kick on in the Premier League next season.

Perhaps they have even more ambitious plans in the summer, and feel they can do without Locadia right now.

But if they falter and let slip their lead in the Championship, their failure to beat Brighton to the striker will appear very costly indeed.
