Brighton & Hove Albion sign Elvis Manu from Feyenoord

Brighton & Hove Albion have signed Netherlands Under-21 forward Elvis Manu from Feyenoord.

The 22-year-old has put pen to paper on a three-year contract after Brighton agreed an undisclosed fee with the Dutch side.

Seagulls boss Chris Hughton told the club website: "We are really pleased to have brought in another offensive option, and what Elvis will bring us is a different type of striker, and also a player who has also played in the wide areas."

Manu is unable to make his debut today at Ipswich Town, but will be available for selection in two weeks' time after the international break.

He has come through the academy at Feyenoord and last season scored seven Eredivisie goals in 27 appearances.
