Brighton Strike January Deal To Sign Inter Miami Midfielder Diego Gomez

The 21-year-old will move to the AMEX stadium for an undisclosed fee when the winter transfer window opens.

Gomez only joined Inter Miami from Paraguay side Libertad Asuncion last summer and made 28 appearances this year as Inter Miami reached the MLS playoffs.

Gomez has already been capped 12 times by the Paraguay national team.

"I'm thankful to Inter Miami for the incredible opportunity it provided me to join this fantastic organization, and to make history with the Club," Gómez said. 

"I'm grateful for the trust the Club had in me, and everything it has done to help me with my development since joining in July of last year, making me a better player and person on and off the pitch. I will always carry Inter Miami with me in my heart."

"We're looking forward to working with Diego very soon," said Brighton's head coach Fabian Hurzeler. 

"He has already made a real impression both at club and international level.

"Like all young players who come to us from abroad, he will need a period of adjustment to the Premier League, but I feel he can make a big contribution and I'm looking forward to working with him."

"He's a dynamic midfielder player who can contribute goals and assists, and we believe his physical profile will be important as he adjusts to the challenge of the Premier League," added Brighton's technical director David Weir.

"He has only recently finished the MLS campaign so we're confident he will be ready to compete for a place in the squad when he joins us next month."
