Albion have completed the record £13.5 million transfer of Jose Izquierdo from Belgian club Brugge.

The Colombian left-winger has been officially unveiled by the club after signing a four-year deal and will make his debut at the Amex on Tuesday night against Barnet in the Carabao Cup, subject to international clearance.

Albion agreed terms with Brugge and Izquierdo more than a week ago, but had to apply for a work permit to secure a UK visa and register the transfer, which smashes the club's record fee for the third time this summer.

Boss Chris Hughton said: "This has been a very complex deal, but I am absolutely delighted we are finally in a position to confirm it is completed. I would like to thank all those involved for their hard work and am delighted Jose is now able to begin work.

"He has already been in Brighton and Hove for a period of time and been able to meet his new colleagues but has not been permitted to train with us - so he is now very keen to get started, and we are looking forward to working with him on the training pitch.

"He's a very exciting player to watch and along with that excitement he will bring pace and creativity to the team. He also has an excellent goalscoring record. Subject to international clearance we expect fans will get their first sight of him on Tuesday night."

The fee for Izquierdo eclipses the £10 million paid for Dutch midfielder Davy Propper from PSV Eindhoven and before that £5.2 million for Australian goalkeeper Mathew Ryan from Valencia.
