The 19-year-old was joint-top scorer at this summer's European U19 Championship, tied on three goals with England's Ben Brereton and Ryan Sessegnon, and Joel Piroe of the Netherlands.

Brighton's U23 coach Simon Rusk said, "We are delighted that we've moved a big step closer to bringing Viktor into the squad.
