Albion are poised to offer a contract to Le Havre prospect Jeremy Balmy.
The Seagulls are set to add the 18-year-old attacking midfielder to their development squad after he scored in today's 3-2 friendly defeat at Hastings.
Balmy was linked with Arsenal, Spurs and Valencia last season and AC Milan earlier in his career.
He replaced Vicente at half-time in the match against Hastings and scored with a left-foot shot from just inside the box in the 55th minute to put Albion 2-0 up.
Substitute George Barker, also brought on at half-time, gave the Seagulls the lead early in the second half but Hastings hit back after Gus Poyet substituted his first team players with the development squad.
Josh Jirbandey halved the arrears (68). Sub Balo Camara levelled with a spectacular shot past Tomasz Kuszczak (82) and then set up Zac Attwood for the winner (87).
