Brighton have agreed a deal to bring Ipswich Town defender Matt Richards to the Withdean Stadium on a month's loan.
The 22-year-old left-back is expected to make his Seagulls debut in Saturday's League One clash with Yeovil Town.
Assistant manager Dean White told Albion's official website: "He's someone we looked at before the start of the season, and we tried to get him here before.
"But we're pleased he's here now. He's an under-21 international, he's played nearly 150 games in the Championship and is the exactly the type of player that we've looking for.
"He's played for England, so we know what we're getting. We're getting someone of real quality and I'm sure he'll be a real asset to the squad."
