Brighton are confident of wrapping up a loan deal for Leicester City striker Leonardo Ulloa which will see them pay a £1million fee to keep the 31-year-old for the rest of the season.
Ulloa, a member of Leicester's squad when they won the Premier League title two seasons ago, has barely featured for the club this season.
Seagulls manager Chris Hughton believes the Argentine can help his club who currently have the second-worst scoring record in the division.
Brighton broke their club transfer record by signing Jurgen Locadia for £14million last week but Hughton still feels he needs more firepower in Brighton's battle against relegation.
