Albion are on the brink of signing Celtic's Israeli midfielder Beram Kayal.
Kayal has agreed terms on a two-and-a-half-year contract with the Seagulls, according to a source in Israel.
The Argus understands he will complete his move to the Amex tomorrow for an undisclosed fee, subject to a medical and work permit clearance.
He would then be available for Sunday's FA Cup tie against Arsenal.
Kayal, 26, is out of contract at Celtic in the summer.
The versatile Israeli international has played 131 games for the Glasgow giants since joining them from Maccabi Haifa in 2010, including Champions League and Europa League appearances.
He has drifted out of contention since Ronny Deila became manager at Parkhead.
The Argus reported earlier this week that Albion were keeping tabs on Kayal.
His progress has been tracked by the club's Northern scout, Darren Wrack.
