Brighton have signed right-back Ezequiel Schelotto from Sporting Lisbon.

The 28-year-old Italy international has signed a three-year contract and becomes Albion's 12th summer signing.

Schelotto played for seven Italian clubs before joining Sporting in 2015, and Brighton manager Chris Hughton told the club website: "We are delighted that Ezequiel is joining us.

"He has made nearly 190 appearances in the top flight in Italy and Portugal, has played in the Champions League and is the type of experienced player we want to add to the squad.

"He can also play as a more attacking wing-back and so gives us some good options in defence."
