Paraguayan wonderkid, and long-term transfer target, Julio Enciso signed a four-year deal at the Amex last month.

The 18-year-old striker, who made his international debut at 17 and has five Paraguay caps, was pursued by the Seagulls in January.

Albion looked set to complete a £6m deal for the teenager but negotiations ground to a halt as Brighton and Enciso’s club, Club Libertad, could not agree personal terms.

The Seagulls have also snapped up Ivorian striker Simon Adingra.
