One of Albion's young new signings is heading out on loan.

Malick Yalcouye will head to Austria and Sturm Graz on a season-long loan after signing for Brighton from Gothenburg in July.

Yalcouye, 18, was heavily linked with Fabian Huerzeler's former club St Pauli but will now head to the Austrian Bundesliga instead.

The midfielder signed a five year deal with Albion in July and featured in Brighton's under-21s against Crawley in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy.

Huerzeler called Yalcouye a "very exciting prospect" who had impressed since joining earlier in the transfer window.

Yalcouye's loan will be monitored by pathway development manager Gordon Greer.
