Albion could make Nico Gonzalez their first signing of the summer.

The Argentina forward is reported by The Guardian to be close to a move to the Amex for what would be a record fee of £25 million.

A well-placed source closer to home this morning confirmed the Seagulls' ongoing interest in Gonzalez.

But there is as yet no confirmation of a done deal.

The 23-year-old is close friends with Albion midfielder Alexis Mac Allister and scored six Bundesliga goals for Stuttgart last season.

Fiorentina are also very keen to sign Gonzalez, who is currently at the Copa America with Argentina.
