As The Pitch Prospect has learned, Brighton are keen to sign Inter Miami midfielder Diego Gomez.
The Seagulls recently announced the arrival of Fabian Hurzeler as their new head coach following the departure of Roberto De Zerbi.

Ahead of his first season as coach, the south coast club is turning its attention to the USA to strengthen the team.
Paraguayan international Gomez is valued at £15 million by Inter Miami and joined the club last summer at the same time as Lionel Messi.
He has scored four goals in 25 appearances for the club, 19 of which came alongside the Argentine legend in all competitions.
Gomez was part of the Inter Miami squad that won the Leagues Cup last August and has now attracted interest from the Premier League.
The 21-year-old is the latest midfielder to be linked with Brighton ahead of next season.
The Pitch Prospect has also learned that the Seagulls remain interested in Leicester’s Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall following a failed transfer in January.
Dewsbury-Hall is valued at £30 million and was key to the Foxes’ Championship title win, scoring 12 goals and providing 14 assists.
Brighton are considering a new offer for the 25-year-old, who has been at Leicester since he was eight years old.

Hurzeler wants to keep his midfield colleague Pascal Gross at the club, as Borussia Dortmund is leading the race to sign him.
He also wants Deniz Undav to stay, although Stuttgart would like to exercise their £20m option to buy the German striker.
Brighton will welcome Ibrahim Osman as their first signing of the summer, joining for £16 million from Danish club FC Nordsjaelland.
Adam Lallana has already left the club and returned to Southampton on a one-year contract.
