Brighton are set to land Joe Gomez on a season-long loan from Liverpool.

Seagulls boss Chris Hughton is poised to continue his preparations for Brighton's first ever Premier League campaign by beating Celtic to the Reds defender.

Joining Brighton will give versatile defender Gomez the chance to kickstart his career with regular football after his serious knee injury.

The 20 year-old made an impressive start to his Liverpool career after making a £3.5m move to Anfield from Charlton in June 2015.

But just a few months into his Liverpool career Gomez suffered a cruciate ligament injury that kept him out for over a year.

Gomez returned last season but made just three FA Cup appearances and last played in January.

He will become Brighton's fourth summer addition so far following the arrivals of goalkeeper Maty Ryan, defender Josh Kerr and midfielder Pascal Gross.
