On-loan Albion defender Warren O'Hora is set to make his move to MK Dons permanent.

The 21-year-old is currently on a season-long loan at the League One side and has been impressing.

He has made 17 appearances so far this season and with his contract at the Seagulls up in June, the Dons have opted to make the move permanent.

MK Dons boss Russell Martin is hoping there will be no problems in getting the deal of the line.

Speaking to the MK Citizen, he said: "We are trying to make it permanent.

"Warren has shown what a capable player he can be, he's really improved, his mentality and attitude into developing himself and buying into what we're trying to do is brilliant.

"I love his character, and for a young lad he's a real leader. Of course, we'd love to make him ours and not just have him on loan.

"Brighton have been great in letting him out on loan, and recognising Warren wants to progress and kick on, play regularly and call somewhere his home.

"Hopefully we're getting close to being able to do that."
