Seagulls swoop for pair

Brighton and Hove Albion have bolstered their midfield options with the double capture of George O'Callaghan and David Martot.
The Seagulls' move for O'Callaghan looked to have fallen through earlier in the week when the Ipswich Town midfielder failed to agree personal terms over a £60,000 transfer.
However, the Irishman has now agreed an alternative loan deal until December 31.
Meanwhile, Martot has joined the south coast club on a similar loan basis from French side Le Havre.
"We are looking forward to working with George and hope that he becomes a real asset and popular member of the squad," manager Dean Wilkins told the club's official website.
"David is slightly more unknown to us, but we've now had him training with us for a week now and he looks like a player who we can utilise in a number of ways in midfield.
"He has shown great energy, enthusiasm and will add quality to the squad and has shown a real desire to play for our club."
