Brighton are exploring the possibility of bringing Union Berlin right-back Julian Ryerson to the Amex.
The 25-year-old has impressed in Germany and will become a free agent in the summer – although Union Berlin have the option to extend his contract by a year.
Ryerson joined the German club in 2018 and made 109 appearances, cementing himself in the first-team.

The defender, who has also made 15 appearances for Norway since making his debut in 2020, has also attracted interest from clubs in Italy, according to The Athletic.
At the other end of the pitch, Brighton forward Reda Khadra’s season-long loan to Sheffield United has been canceled with the 21-year-old heading to Birmingham instead.
The German forward was a product of Borussia Dortmund’s youth system but his time in Sheffield did not go as well as hoped.

After joining with a view to making the deal permanent, Khadra has not started a game since November and has made just 16 appearances.
The German Under-21 international was not selected for Sheffield United’s last two match-day squads, and was an unused substitute against Coventry.
Roberto de Zerbi is not set to have a huge transfer window with limited finances but has the main task of keeping World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister at the club – which they are confident they can do.
