Brighton close to sealing Msakni loan deal

Brighton are in the advanced stages of sealing a loan move for Al-Duhail forward Youssef Msakni until the end of the season, Goal has learned.

Msakni had been out with a cruciate ligament injury that saw him miss the World Cup with Tunisia until recently, but now appears set to swap the Arabian Peninsula for the south coast of England having returned to full fitness.

Reports in Qatar had been linking the 28-year-old with a Premier League of late, with Cardiff City and Watford both mentioned, but Goal can confirm that, all going well, the Amex Stadium will be his next destination.
