The 24-year-old, who began his career in the Netherlands with NEC Nijmegen and has been capped 20 times by his country, has agreed a four-year contract which will commit him to the Premier League club until June 2028, subject to international clearance and a successful work permit application.
Seagulls head coach Fabian Hurzeler said: "I'm very excited because we are getting an excellent player and a great character. He has great ability, is a strong runner and very good at passing.
"He is predominantly a full-back and can play on the right or left side; he can also play in the centre of midfield.
"He is someone who is very keen to learn and develop and with that in mind, Iâm confident he will adjust to the Premier League and adapt quickly to English football."
Liverpool have reached an agreement to sign Georgia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, subject to a work permit and international clearance.
The 23-year-old will remain at Valencia for the rest of the season before moving to Anfield ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.
Mamardashvili has won 21 caps for Georgia and made 102 appearances for Valencia since arriving from Dinamo Tbilisi in 2021.
Chelsea have agreed the signing of 19-year-old goalkeeper Mike Penders from Belgian side Genk.
Penders will join the Blues next summer on a contract until 2032.
Penders, a Belgium Under-19 international, only made his senior debut for Genk last month against Standard Liege, keeping a clean sheet in a goalless draw.
He will remain with Genk in the Belgian top flight for the rest of the season.
