Marc Cucurella's move to Brighton is imminent with the wing/full-back flying to England this afternoon (1pm UK time) ahead of his move to the South Coast.
Cucurella's agent Aleix Pique took to Instagram to post a story on him onboard a plane with the message "Here we go @premierleague" with a emoji of a Seagull flying underneath (pictured below):
That is after reports this morning suggested that Albion had met and paid the €18 million to Getafe for the 23-year-old
Excl. Marc Cucurella to Brighton, done deal and here-we-go! The release clause has been matched and paid few minutes ago. Brighton will pay €18m to Getafe. 🔵🇪🇸 #BHAFC #Getafe

Albion have so far been a bit light at left wing/full-back with Dan burn out injured since the end of last month and Solly March then missing their defeat to Everton due to a hamstring injury.
