Albion have completed the £1.5 million capture of Elvis Manu from Feyenoord.

The Dutch under-21 international has signed a three-year contract with the Seagulls.

Manu will be available for the first game after the international break at home to Hull on September 12, subject to international clearance.

Boss Chris Hughton is delighted with the club's ninth first team signing of the summer.

He said: "We are really pleased to have brought in another offensive option and what Elvis will bring us is a different type of striker, and also a player who has played in the wide areas.

"At 22 he is of a great age for further development and he comes to us with a very good pedigree, having come through the Feyenoord system - and he has represented Holland from under-16 to under-21 level."

Born to Ghanaian parents in Dordrecht, Manu progressed through the ranks at Feyenoord’s academy and subsequently scored his first goal for the first team in a 3-2 win at Heerenveen in May 2012.

He then had loan spells with Excelsior and SC Cambuur in 2012-13 and 2013-14.

Manu scored five goals in 15 Eredivisie appearances at Cambur.

He established himself at Feyenoord last season when he also announced himself on the European stage with a total of 14 goals in 37 outings in Eredivisie, the Champions League and Europa League.

Meanwhile, Albion have upped their offer for Boca Juniors striker Jonathan Calleri to ten million dollars, it has been claimed over night in Argentina. Boca have requested the increased bid in writing.
