Brighton have agreed a deal to sign Deportivo La Coruna striker Florin Andone for a fee understood to be £5.25m.
The Romanian will join the club on a five-year contract once the window opens for international transfers on June 8.
Andone, 25, had a £17.5m release clause in his Deportivo contract, but the Spanish side's relegation from La Liga is believed to have seen that cut to just £5.25m.
He has made 69 appearances for Deportivo, scoring 18 goals in two seasons.
Manager Chris Hughton told the club's website: "We are delighted that Florin has agreed to join us. He is a player that we have tracked for some time, and he will add a new dimension to our attacking options.
"He is a very hard-working player, and has proven his quality at the highest level in Spain, as well as at international level. I am looking forward to working with him next season."
Andone, who has won 21 caps for Romania, started his career with Spanish Segunda Division B side CD Castellon, before signing for Villarreal in 2013.
After a loan to Atletico Baleares in the 2013/14 season, the striker earned a move to Cordoba in July 2014 where he found the net 27 times in 58 games, before joining Deportivo in July 2016.
