Crystal Palace target Lewis Dunk has signed a new deal with Brighton.

The central defender, who has previously been linked with a number of sides, including Palace, Newcastle United and Everton, has signed a new deal to stay with the Seagulls until 2021.

The Croydon Advertiser says Dunk was reportedly the subject of a £5m bid from an unnamed club earlier this summer, although the bid was "firmly rejected" by the Seagulls.

Brighton chief executive Paul Barber said at the time that Brighton had no intention of selling Dunk, and they have been true to his word, keeping the 24-year-old at the club during the transfer window, before now agreeing a new deal to stay with the Championship side.
