Brighton are eyeing Bohemians defender Warren O'Hora.

The Independent says O'Hora is expected to leave the club for England before the close of the January window.

Brighton are in pole position to sign the centre-half ahead of Norwich with Bohs boss Keith Long suggesting there will be clarity on his situation later this week.

"There will be something later on in the week," said Long yesterday. "Warren has done really well at the club. He has captained our U-17 and U-19 sides and graduated into the first team and made every transition look easy at times.

"If his career development is to be somewhere else, then us as a club are happy for him to fulfill his ambitions if it's full-time football in the UK or wherever. You'll probably hear something later in the week."
