Brighton & Hove Albion manager Dean Wilkins has strengthened his defensive options by signing Millwall's Zoumana Bakayogo on loan until the end of the season.

The 20-year-old spent two weeks on trial with the Seagulls last summer, but former boss Mark McGhee decided not to offer him a permanent deal.

Ex-Lions boss Nigel Spackman then snapped him up, but Bakayogo has drifted out of the first-team picture recently and has not started a League One game for almost three months.

New Millwall manager Willie Donachie has opted to let the defender leave the New Den to make way for some possible new arrivals before the transfer window closes at midnight next Wednesday.
