Graham Potter believes that new signing Neal Maupay will give his Brighton team something else in attack.

Brighton have finalised the fourth signing of the summer transfer window, sealing the deal to bring striker Maupay from Brentford.

Boss Potter told the club's official website: "Neal is a talented striker, with good strength and pace, and he is a goalscorer.

"He will add an extra dimension to our existing forward options, and we are delighted to have completed the transfer.

"The club has been monitoring Neal and has been aware of his ability for some time. Separately I was also aware of his obvious ability at Swansea and came up against him in the Championship last season.

"His record in the Championship has been exceptional, with 41 goals across the last two seasons, and now his challenge is to transfer that to the Premier League."

It has cost them nearly 20 million, which means that Maupay will be expected to hit the ground running.

The 22-year-old has signed a four year deal.
