Albion expect to strengthen their strike force with at least one and possibly two new signings before the transfer deadline at midnight
tomorrow.
Manager Mark McGhee revealed: "There are specific targets we have decided to move on and are pursuing."
The Seagulls' main target is thought to be a young forward untried at Championship level but with experience with a League One club.
Albion hope to buy him for a modest fee before tomorrow night's home game against Burnley.
That will drop Mark McCammon further down the pecking order and increase the likelihood of him leaving in a loan deal.
McCammon trained with Watford last week but they have not expressed an interest in signing him.
Goalkeeper Wayne Henderson and front man Colin Kazim-Richards both resume training today and are in contention to start against Burnley.
Henderson has been nursing a sore back and Kazim-Richards a knee injury.
Albion's FA Youth Cup fifth round tie away to Blackburn has been confirmed for Ewood Park on Wednesday February 8 after Rovers were knocked out of the FA Cup at West Ham on Saturday.
