PREMIER LEAGUE new boys Brighton are looking to tie up a £2.5million deal for Hertha Berlin winger Genki Haraguchi.
The Japan international, 26, is keen to test himself in English football after three years in the Bundesliga.
He has scored four goals in 84 games since joining Hertha from Urawa Reds in 2014.
And with only 12 months remaining on his contract, his current club is ready to cut a deal after initially demanding £5m for the player.
Haraguchi has won 22 caps for Japan so would not have any problems obtaining a work permit if Seagulls boss Chris Hughton gives a green light to the deal.
And another player who could be joining Haraguchi at Brighton is Kevin McDonald.

SunSport has recently reported how the Seagulls are ready to make a £2million move for the Fulham midfielder.
Boss Chris Hughton has the 28-year-old Scot watched for some time.
And the deal would appeal to McDonald even though he has three years left on his Craven Cottage contract.
Brighton’s promotion to Premier League would see McDonald return to the top flight after a spell at Burnley.
But Hughton faces a tug of war with Scottish giant Rangers who also want McDonald.
The player would also see that as a good move as he wants to force his way into the Scotland squad.
