The youngster made 24 appearances in the Colombian top flight last season after breaking into Deportivo Cali’s senior squad at just 16.

Brighton sporting director Mike Cave said the club were delighted to secure Orozco’s signature after identifying him as an exciting young prospect.

“He has already got good experience in Colombia and we will now place him with a club on loan for the 2026/27 season so he can continue his development,” Cave said.

Brighton hope the move will help Orozco fulfil his considerable potential.
