Brighton & Hove Albion bring in Finland Under-21 striker Vahid Hambo

Brighton & Hove Albion secure the signing of Finland Under-21 international Vahid Hambo on a two-year contract.

Brighton & Hove Albion have announced the signing of Finland Under-21 international Vahid Hambo from FC Inter Turku.

The 20-year-old is a striker who Seagulls boss Chris Hughton believes might need some time to adapt to the English game.

"Vahid is a centre-forward with a good goalscoring record this year in Finland - we hope that is something he can replicate here in England," Hughton told the club website.

"He's a tall, powerful player, and he is someone we see as adding to our attacking options - but he's a young player, and someone we would see as an option within the squad at this stage.

"I want to see him pushing for a place in the squad at some stage this season."

Hambo, who has signed a two-year contract, is currently dealing with a minor ankle injury and will not be able to make his first appearance for at least two weeks.
