The Seagulls had expressed an interest in the Romanian international and Andone was said to be interested in leaving but Deportivo, who re-signed Lucas Perez on loan from Arsenal today, do not want to sell according to reports in Spain.

Albion have been linked with a host of attacking players today as they look to add to their strikeforce. With Sam Baldock out with a calf injury, it leaves Glenn Murray and Tomer Hemed as the only strikers in the squad.

Albion are close to completing a deal for goalkeeper Tim Krul. The goalkeeper arrived at the training ground in Lancing for a medical earlier today.
