Joe Marler has been invited to visit Albion’s training ground after the World Cup.
The big prop from Sussex is currently busy in France with England.
But he makes no secret of his love for the Seagulls.
Marler said his bizarre headed assist for a try against Japan was inspired by Albion’s win at Manchester United.
And he names Lewis Dunk as his favourite sportsman.
Albion head coach Roberto De Zerbi said: “Yes, yes, I read about that.
“I am honoured for his words and we are waiting for him in our training ground when he wants to come.
“Not to play, I think. But maybe if we need him, I can put him on the pitch for ten minutes!”
