Albion are licking their striker wounds after a double whammy on deadline day.
They thought they had landed Romanian Florin Andone from Deportivo La Coruna, only for the deal to fall through.
The Seagulls then switched their attention to Vincent Janssen of Spurs.
They successfully applied to the Premier League for a two-hour extension to clinch the record-shattering deal for the Dutchman beyond the 11pm deadline - but he turned them down after terms had been agreed between the clubs.
