Chuba Akpom will join Championship leaders Brighton & Hove Albion on loan for remainder of the season.

The promising young striker played his part in Hull City’s promotion to the Premier League last term, making 36 league appearances, and will be hoping to do the same with Chris Hughton’s side this time around.

An England youth international, Chuba, 21, has been with us since the age of six.

The loan is subject to the completion of regulatory processes.
