Albion's latest signing Martin Montoya can hit the net from 30 yards - a basketball net.
It takes something special to impress Lionel Messi and Barcelona's galaxy of stars - but Montoya did just that during a training session with the Spanish giants three years ago.
The Seagulls' new right-back from Valencia produced an outrageous trick shot into a basketball ring from long range.
Watching team-mates applauded while others, including Croatian World Cup final midfielder Ivan Rakitic and Javier Mascherano, ran over to congratulate the defender's deadly aim.
Mascherano was left open-mouthed as Montoya gave a thums-up to the camera.
Montoya could make his Albion debut against Manchester United at the Amex on Sunday (4pm), with fellow former Valencia right-back and captain Bruno doubtful due to a hamstring injury.
Stunning from Albion's latest signing. https://t.co/FrgbXFMk5g
