Former Dens defender Brent Sancho is set to sign for Coca-Cola Championship side Brighton. Relegation from the SPL meant Dundee were not in a position to offer the Trinidad international a new deal.
The 28-year-old impressed as a trialist against Lewes at the weekend and has talks planned with Seagulls boss Mark McGhee later this week.
With Kilmarnock and Livingston showing an interest, Sancho had the chance to remain north of the border, but fancies testing himself in England.
“I played in a trial game at the weekend and did OK, so, hopefully, something will happen. Brighton are a good club going places and this is a lovely part of the world, so I’m keen to stay here,” he said.
“The manager has seen me in training as well now and we’re going to talk things over. “I loved my time in Scotland, but I’ve always wanted the chance to play in England.
“The Championship is a great league with some really well-known clubs, so it’s a chance to play in big games every week.”
Boss Jim Duffy was happy with the performance of his players in yesterday’s closed door friendly against Blackburn reserves.
The game finished 2-2 with new signing Simon Lynch among the goals. He is set to be on duty again against Raith Rovers at Stark’s Park tomorrow night.
