Brighton were set to sign Tottenham midfielder Alex Pritchard but Norwich could now capture the promising youngster, according to the Argus.

Pritchard was one of the stand out players in the Sky Bet Championship in 2014/15, as he helped Brentford to a 5th place finish.

Scoring 12 goals from midfield in 45 league games for the Bees. He also impressed in the previous campaign with League One side Swindon.

Last season wasn’t as successful for the 23-year-old however, he made the step up to the Premier League by joining Tony Pulis’ West Brom on loan but played in just 3 games.

He’s only ever played twice for Spurs, one of those two appearances coming last season in a goalless draw with Everton at White Hart Lane.

Brighton, who were set to break their transfer record to sign Pritchard have only made two first team signings this summer, and now Seagulls boss Chris Hughton’s former club Norwich City appear to have intercepted their move for Alex Pritchard.
