Brighton SHOCK favourites to sign Watford's Troy Deeney but West Brom and Southampton in contention

Brighton and Hove Albion are said to be preparing a late bid for Watford striker Troy Deeney ahead of Friday's EFL transfer deadline.

Albion are keen to add some additional firepower to their Premier League strike force and Deeney's top flight experience could be a major factor in their decision.

Neal Maupay and Aaron Connolly are the main front runners for Brighton this season following Glenn Murray's loan switch to Watford.

They also signed the talented but inexperienced Andi Zeqiri from Swiss Super League side Lausanne-Sport. Zeqiri is seen as one for the future but Deeney is a proven striker and could make an instant impact.
