Brighton have agreed to sign PSV Eindhoven defender Olivier Boscagli.

The 27-year old will join on a free once his contract ends with the Dutch champions next month.

Brighton had tried to sign the Monaco-born left-footer last summer but had an £8m offer rejected.

Boscagli played 30 Eredivisie matches this season as PSV pipped Ajax to the title on the final day of the season. 

The Frenchman, who joined PSV from Nice in 2019, contributed with one goal and six assists.   

Brighton, who have also agreed to sign Tommy Watson from Sunderland, are pursuing a deal to sign highly rated 17-year old Olympiacos striker Charalampos Kostoulas which could see Abdallah Sima go the other way.

Kostoulas usually operates as a No 9 but can also play behind the centre-forward or on either flank. 

Manchester United and Arsenal are among several other clubs keen on the teenager. 

Brighton have also made offers for Botafogo left-back Cuiabano. The 22-year old has previously been a target for Fenerbahce.
