FC Cincinnati are not ready to make a loan deal for Brighton and Hove Albion star Jurgen Locadia permanent.

The forward is playing in the MLS on loan for the second half of the season.

But COVID-19 has restricted his chances to impress, as the league is on hold.

According to The Athletic, Cincy are trying to see what happens with the rest of the season before they commit to any new deal with Brighton for Locadia.

They may be hoping to keep the player on loan until the MLS season ends, and then deciding if they want him permanently.
