Jurgen Locadia has left Albion.

The striker is joining German Bundesliga side VFL Bochum 1848 in a permanent move, on undisclosed terms and subject to international clearance.

Locadia joined the Seagulls amid considerable expectation four years ago but struggled to make a big impact.

He scored six league and cup goals, including two in quick succession against Arsenal and Everton during what appeared to be a breakthrough week around Christmas three years ago.

Albion boss Graham Potter said: “Jurgen is keen to play and Bochum provides him that opportunity and the possibility to reinvigorate his career in the Bundesliga, where he has previously enjoyed success with Hoffenheim. We wish him all the very best for the future."

Locadia, 28, scored four times in 12 appearances for Hoffenheim and was later on loan with FC Cincinnati.

BIG THINGS EXPECTED OF KOZLOWSKI

He joins a Bochum side who are in a respectable 12th place having won promotion last season.
