Brighton are wrapping up a deal for Libertad prospect Julio Enciso.

Enciso will join Brighton before the market shuts next week.

Honorary Libertad president Horacio Cartes said: “The boy wants to go. For me, for many people, it's the best league in the world.

“It will be a great honour, still conscious of the fact that he is just starting in the national team.

“He turned 18 the day before yesterday.

“I have no doubt that the nickname Joya fits him well because he is a true jewel.

“Emotionally he is very good. He has parents who accompany him a lot and accompany him well.

“If it's time to go the Premier League, then he should go. We are talking about details."
