Albion manager Steve Coppell does not anticipate doing any transfer business in the near future.

money is tight for the Seagulls boss, who does not think anyone will leave Withdean either.

He said: "I think if somebody was interested in any of the players then I would have had some contact by now to line up a deal.

"Our situation is fairly well-defined - there is no money. We could possibly afford a loan player, but with no scout it's hard to get out and about to see all the teams and try and identify the players."
