Albion were today believed to be favourites to complete a deal for Holland midfielder Mats Wieffer.
A well-placed source in Holland understands the player has been given the green light by Feyenoord to talk to the Seagulls over personal terms.
That is seen as a strong indication his current club believe a deal can go through.
Wieffer missed the current Euros due to an injury towards the end of last season.
But he is now back in training with his club, who are prepared to let him go at the right price.
Wieffer was a target for Atletico Madrid in January but, at the time, Feyenoord wanted him to complete the season with them.
He is a highly-rated deep-lying midfielder described recently by ESPN reporter and former Albion favourite Hans Kraay as “safe like the Bank of England” when receiving possession.
