Seagulls swoop for Akindayini

The 19-year-old has joined the club as a free agent and will initially link up with Albion's under-21 squad.

Akindayini played the majority of 2014/15 with Spurs' under-21s before joining Brighton on trial at the end of last season.

Having impressed in fixtures at Arsenal and Aston Villa, Akindayini has now signed a development contract with the club.

He is the second player to join Brighton's development squad this summer following the arrival of Joe Ward from Chelmsford City last month.
