Albion manager Roberto De Zerbi said on Friday he did not expect any more business to be completed before the window shut at 11pm on Tuesday, January 31.
De Zerbi said: “I don’t expect anything. I am used to speaking about the transfer market, if we stay how we are, I am happy. I haven’t had any other news about the transfer market.”
Despite this claim, the high-flying Seagulls have been the centre of a number of major transfer stories this month, most recently rejecting two bids from Arsenal for midfielder Moises Caicedo.
Albion are determined to keep their 21-year-old, having already sold Leandro Trossard to the league leaders for £22m plus add-ons earlier in the window.
A number of De Zerbi’s fringe squad players have also attracted interest from clubs for short-term loan deals, while World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister has seen growing interest in his services following his triumphant performance in Qatar before Christmas.
While any incomings to the Amex Stadium are unlikely before Tuesday, you can never say never in football and Brighton have been reportedly interest in signing several players to bolster their squad as they attempt to qualify for Europe.

Most recently, the club were linked with Shakhtar Donetsk defender Mykola Matviyenko, who worked with De Zerbi whilst he was manager of the Ukrainian giants from May 2021 until July 2022.
Brighton have also completed the signing of Sweden midfield talent Yasin Ayari.
The Seagulls have been tracking the 19-year-old talent throughout the January transfer window and have now made their decisive move, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
It is unlikely that this will be the last time we hear Brighton’s name by mentioned in transfer stories in the next 24 hours.
Here are eight deals which could be completed by the club before 11pm tomorrow night (January 31).
5. OUT - Moises Caicedo
Mikel Arteta is keen to sign the talented midfielder before the window closes, but Brighton are holding firm, most recently rejecting a £70m bid from the league leaders. Brighton have placed him “on leave” until after the transfer window and want their player to focus on preparing for the next Premier League match against Bournemouth at the Amex on February 4.

6. OUT - Alexis Mac Allister
Top European clubs are now interested in the 24-year-old after a string of impressive performances at the 2022 World Cup. The most credible move in this window would be to Chelsea, who are looking at the Argentinian as a midfield alternative if they fail to sign Benfica's Enzo Fernandez. However, recent reports suggest the Blues will get that deal done in the next 24 hours. (Photo by Mike Hewitt/Getty Images) Photo: Mike Hewitt
7. OUT - Deniz Undav
The German striker is yet to make an impact on the south coast this season, failing to score a league goal and only starting games in the cup competitions. A number of championship clubs are said to be interested in loaning the 26-year-old for the remainder of the season, including the likes of Blackburn Rovers and Norwich City.

8. OUT - Jan Paul van Hecke
The young defender had been linked with move to to a number of Championship sides including Middlesbrough, Sunderland and Blackburn. However, it is believed that De Zerbi wants to keep the 22-year-old as he likes the player and sees him as an important part of the squad.
