Newcastle United keeper Steve Harper is reportedly set for a loan switch to Championship side Brighton.
The 36-year-old is seeking first-team football after losing the number one spot to Tim Krul.
The arrival of Rob Elliot from Charlton means that Harper has fallen further down The Magpies' pecking order.
The loan deal is believed to be for a month with a view to extend.
