This comes after Ghana's leading football news outfit www.ghanasoccernet.com exclusively revealed the newly-promoted Premier League side's interest in the Ghana attacker last week.

Dwamena will travel to the UK for the medical within the next two days before the deal is sealed.

"The 21-year-old striker has also agreed personal terms with the club and is now awaiting clearance to travel to the UK for his medical," a Brighton statement read on Monday.
