Agents close to the deal have told Ghana's leading football news outfit that the deal subject to a work permit and international clearance.

Ghana's leading football news outfit www.ghanasoccernet.com exclusively revealed the newly-promoted Premier League side's interest in the Ghana attacker last week.

The 21-year-old is facing a remarkable career jump with the mouth-watering offer for his Zurich-based club as well as irresistible personal terms.

Brighton slapped a shock £8m offer to sign Ghana striker to sign him from FC Zurich but the Swiss side was holding out for more money.

Manager Chris Hughton is a key admirer of the Ghanaian, who joined FC Zurich from Red Bull Salzburg in January and scored an impressive 12 goals in 18 games.

The Swiss side bought the striker for about £250,000 just six months ago from Austria Lustenau and would have made a decent profit of £7, 750,000 if they allowed him to move.

Dwamena will be a sporting loss for Zurich if he leaves but 1600% profit represent a business for FC Zurich if they accept the offer from Brighton.

With twelve goals in 18 games, the attacker from  Ghana  helped Zurich win their promotion to the top-flight.
