Yasin Ayari is a candidate to go out on loan this month.

Albion could also secure temporary deals for Steven Alzate and Facundo Buonanotte.

All three play in areas where the Seagulls are well-stocked.

They today confirmed a season-long loan for Odel Offiah at Hearts after he signed a new deal with Albion.

Asked whether more could head out on loan, head coach Roberto De Zerbi said: “Maybe Ayari and we will see about Steven Alzate and Facundo Buonanotte.

“I would like to give them, give all players, the right space, but the rules of football mean you can only play 11 players.”

Alzate and Buonanotte were unused subs against Luton while Ayari did not make the 20.
