Brighton have signed Brentford striker Neal Maupay for 20m.

The 22-year-old has agreed to a four-year contract with the Seagulls after impressing in the Championship.

"It's a dream of mine to play in the Premier League, and once I had met the manager and found out that the club was interested in me, I had a good feeling straight away," Maupay said.

"It's a team that fits in well with me, and like them, I want to improve. I managed to do that when I arrived in England with Brentford, and now it's time for me to work twice as hard because it is the best league in the world.

"I know it will be tough, but I am really excited and I have that desire to work hard for this club."
