The Merseyside club have identified a new attacker they hope to sign, who could join next year and take Nunez’s place at the club.

The signing from Watford has been a huge hit for the Seagulls, with his performances this season attracting the attention of some top clubs.

The attacker is keen to leave Brighton after seeing interest from some of the Premier League’s best sides.
