Brighton & Hove Albion are on the verge of announcing the deadline day signing of highly sought-after Nurnberg striker Stefanos Tzimas.
The 19-year-old Greek forward has been in impressive form this season, scoring 10 league goals in 17 appearances for Nurnberg in the German second division.
Transfer Details and Competition
According to reports, Tzimas has already completed his medical and signed his contract at Brighton, with the club set to pay a fee of over £22m plus add-ons.
Brighton have beaten off competition from Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, and Bayern Munich to secure Tzimas’ signature.

Unique Transfer Arrangement
In a unique arrangement, Brighton will allow Nurnberg to keep Tzimas on loan for the remainder of the season before he links up with the Seagulls in the summer.
This move will enable Tzimas to continue his development in Germany before joining Brighton’s squad.
Brighton’s Shrewd Transfer Business
Brighton’s signing of Tzimas is another example of the club’s shrewd transfer business.
The Seagulls have a reputation for identifying and recruiting talented young players, often from lesser-known leagues, and developing them into first-team stars.
Other Transfer News
Meanwhile, Brighton have reportedly had two bids for Sunderland’s teenage winger Tommy Watson rejected, with their second offer totalling around £12m.
The Seagulls have already made several signings this transfer window, including midfielder Diego Gomez and centre-back Eiran Cashin.
