Teenage defender Yapi completes permanent move to Brighton from PSG

Brighton have announced the signing of 19-year-old full-back Romaric Yapi from Paris Saint-Germain for an undisclosed fee.

The young right-back has put pen to paper on a one-year contract at the Amex Stadium, with the option to extend for a further year.

Yapi will go straight into Brighton's Under-23 squad ahead of the new season, with a view to breaking into the first team as the campaign progresses.
