Brighton have signed Esbjerg striker Anders Dreyer.

He scored 18 times in the Danish second tier last term and will link up with the club's Under-23 side.

Brighton Under-23 coach Simon Rusk said: “We are delighted to welcome Anders to the club.

“He arrives here on the back of a prolific first full season in the Danish first division, in which he topped the scoring charts and helped Esbjerg win promotion back to the Superliga.

“I'm looking forward to working with Anders this season, and helping him continue his development here with us."

Dreyer also said: “I'm delighted to be here, and this is a very big chance for me, I'm very excited to meet the group and get settled in.

“I chose the club because I saw how well they did last season during their first season in the Premier League.

“It's a huge club, a big change for me and it's one that I'm very excited about."
