Albion want former West Ham forward Paul Kitson to form a partnership with Bobby Zamora.

Boss Martin Hinshelwood has been hunting for a striker since his appointment last month and Kitson is the man the Seagulls are after to ease Zamora's scoring burden.

The 31-year-old former England under 21 international has performed at the top level for Leicester, Derby, Newcastle and West Ham.

He scored a hat-trick in the Premiership for the Hammers in a 4-4 draw against Charlton last season.
