Brighton are in talks to sign Austria holding midfielder Florian Grillitsch, 26, who is a free agent after leaving Hoffenheim.
While Seagulls midfielder Taylor Richards is joining QPR on loan.
Grillitsch spent five seasons in the Bundesliga with Hoffenheim and can play in both midfield and defence.
The Austrian has previously been linked with a move to Arsenal, but Brighton are set to snap up the versatile star from under the noses of the Gunners and bring him to the Amex Stadium.
