David Button

David Button is close to completing a move to Brighton from Fulham, according to Sky sources.

The 29-year-old fell behind Marcus Bettinelli as the Whites' second choice last season and did not make an appearance after January 6's FA Cup defeat to Southampton.

Button is understood to want a new challenge and is set to sign for the Seagulls to compete with Matthew Ryan and new signing Jason Steele.

The former Tottenham trainee established himself as first-choice during the Bees promotion campaign under Mark Warburton that season, moving on after 141 appearances for the club.
