Brighton are closing in on the signing of Bristol City defender Adam Webster.

The fee for the 24-year-old central defender will reach a club record figure, according to the Guardian.

Albion are paying £25 million for Webster, despite the fact that he plays in the Championship.

Many are speculating that a big money defensive signing means that Brighton star Lewis Dunk may be off in the coming weeks.

Leicester City are the likeliest destination for Dunk, which would make sense if Harry Maguire completes his big money move to Manchester United.

Bristol managed a neat profit on Webster, who signed from Ipswich Town for £3.5 million last summer.
