Brighton have agreed to sign 21-year-old Diego Gomez from Inter Miami, the Premier League club announced on Tuesday, with the Paraguayan midfielder expected to complete the move on January 1.
Brighton did not disclose the fee or length of Gomez’s contract, who joined Miami in 2023 and helped the MLS club qualify for the playoffs this season.
“He is a dynamic midfielder who can score goals and assist. We believe his physical profile will be important as he adapts to the challenges of the Premier League,” Brighton technical director David Weir said.
Gomez represented Paraguay at the Summer Olympics in Paris.
“He has already made a real impression at both club and international level,” said Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler. “Like all young players who come to us from abroad, he will need a period of adaptation to the Premier League, but I feel he can make a big contribution and I am looking forward to working with him.”
Brighton is seventh in the Premier League table and has a chance of qualifying for the Champions League next season.
