Anderlecht goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen appears set for a move to Brighton this summer.

The shot stopper was being linked to Burnley, while Manchester United were also mentioned.

However, talkSPORT states that Brighton have stolen a march on their rivals in pursuit of Verbruggen.

He will be netting a multi-year deal with the Albion, who will sell Robert Sanchez.

The latter fell out of favour with boss Roberto De Zerbi towards the back end of last season.

While Sanchez is still seen as a top keeper, his playstyle does not suit De Zerbi's philosophy.
