Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint Germain.

Gilmour, meanwhile, agreed a five-year deal with Napoli after his late-night move. Brighton sporting director David Weir said: “Billy quickly establishe­d himself as a popular figure in the dressing room and was a key player last season when we competed in the Europa League for the first time. We wish him the best of luck with this move to Italy and thank him for his efforts with the club.”

Elsewhere in the English Premiershi­p, Arsenal agreed a deal to sign Bournemout­h goalkeeper

Neto on a season-long loan. The move for the 35-year-old Cherries captain is a straight switch with no obligation or option to buy.

The new Gunners signing said: “To all the supporters of Arsenal, I’d just like to say I’m one more fan here. My dream has come true, I’m really happy. Depend on me, I’ll give more than 100 per cent to give everything for Arsenal.”

Neto’s arrival in north London has allowed England goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale to complete a permanent switch to Southampto­n.

Wolves have signed another England goalkeeper, with Sam Johnstone joining from Crystal Palace on a four-year contract, with the 31-year-old costing a reported £10m fee.

Fabio Silva heads out on his fourth loan spell from Molineux to join La Liga Las Palmas for the remainder of the campaign.

Travelling in the other direction across the channel is midfielder Orel Mangala, who joins the Toffees on a seasonlong loan from Lyon, becoming the sixth summer signing at Goodison Park.

Brentford have also welcomed 18-year-old full-back Jayden Meghoma from Southampto­n, who has signed a four-year contract with a club option to extend the deal by an additional two years.

Brighton winger Amario Cozier-duberry has joined Blackburn on a season-long loan. The 19-year-old joined the Seagulls on a four-year contract in July after leaving Arsenal.

Aston Villa have signed Yeimar Mosquera from Orsomarso, and the Colombia Under-20 centre-back will immediatel­y join Real Union on loan.

As expected, Rangers winger Scott Wright has signed a three-year deal at Sky Bet League One outfit Birmingham for an undisclose­d fee.

Meanwhile, Tammy Abraham, who has earned 11 senior caps for England, is also on the move after joining AC Milan on loan from Roma.

Brighton’s Jeremy Sarmiento has joined Burnley on a season-long loan.
