Albion boss Gus Poyet has given the clearest indication yet that Vicente is about to commit his future to the Seagulls.

The Spanish star has yet to sign a contract and the finer details of a deal still have to be thrashed out but Poyet believes it is "90 or 95 per cent" certain he will be returning to The Amex.

Poyet told The Argus: "I think Vicente will stay. What we are trying to do is sort out a few little things that will make sure he is staying with us in a better and happier situation with us but I think it will happen at any time.

"We are just trying to sort it out. We cannot confirm if he is going to stay or not because that's not fair. We cannot do something that isn't done but I would say it is a big chance, 90 per cent or 95 per cent that he will stay."

Poyet also revealed Albion are "very close to another two signings that will help him as well."
