Brighton have completed the signing of young Newcastle winger Kazenga LuaLua on a one-month loan deal.

The 19-year-old midfielder, who spent three months on loan at Doncaster last season, moves to the Withdean in search of first-team football.

He has made a total of 12 appearances for the Magpies and Seagulls manager Gus Poyet thinks he will be a good signing.

"Kazenga is an excellent addition to our squad as he will give us different options," he told the club's official website.

"He can play on the left or right side and is very quick.

"I've watched him a couple of times and I know his qualities."

LuaLua, younger brother of former Newcastle striker Lomana, will not be eligible to play in Brighton's game against Huddersfield on Tuesday as Poyet's side look to move clear of the relegation zone in League One

However, he is expected to feature as the Seagulls face promotion-hunting Norwich at home on Saturday.
