Brighton are on the brink of signing a La Liga talent, according to reports.

Valencia's Mathew Ryan

The Mirror has reported that goalkeeper Mathew Ryan has agreed to join Brighton & Hove Albion.

The 25-year-old has been linked with the newly-promoted Premier League side in recent weeks.

And The Mirror now claims that the move is done as the Australia international prepares to leave Valencia after two years with Los Che.

Ryan spent the second half of last season on loan at Belgian outfit Genk after struggling for first-team opportunities at the Mestalla.

If true, he will become Brighton and Hove Albion’s third signing this summer after manager Chris Hughton previously tied up deals for Pascal Gross and Josh Kerr.

According to The Daily Record, Kerr snubbed an extension at Celtic in favour of joining Brighton, who finished second in the Championship last term.

Meanwhile, Gross was Hughton’s first signing since the Seagulls won promotion to the Premier League, signing a four-year deal.
