Albion are close to making towering Derby County striker Liam Dickinson their sixth signing of the summer, according to the player's agent.
Dickinson's representative, Phil Sproson, said: "There is a strong interest from Brighton in Liam and talks are ongoing.
"The two clubs are trying to agree a fee and I don't think they are too far apart.
"Liam wants to be playing regular first team football and he knows his chances at Derby will be limited, so he is hoping a deal can be agreed with Brighton."
The 6ft 4ins Dickinson has yet to make his debut for Derby following a £750,000 move from Stockport a year ago.
He would be the third ex-Stockport player to join Albion following the close-season captures of James Tunicliffe and Gary Dicker.
