Brighton & Hove Albion have reached an agreement in principle with Ajax to sign attacking midfielder Mohammed Kudus.
Subject to the deal being finalised, the fee is in the region of €40million (£34.5m; $44m). That would make it a club-record purchase — surpassing the price paid for Joao Pedro this summer, which was just under £30million.
Ghana international Kudus is close to agreeing personal terms with the Premier League club.
The move has been driven by Brighton head coach Roberto De Zerbi, who views Kudus as a key target.
