Dundalk set to receive club-record transfer fee for Sean Keogh from Brighton
Dundalk FC full-back Sean Keogh is expected to secure a move to Premier League side Brighton this week. It is understood that an undisclosed six-figure sum has been agreed between the two clubs for the services of the 19-year-old, with the County Louth side securing future add-ons to what is believed to be a record sale for the Oriel Park outfit. The deal is expected to be confirmed in the coming days once the final details on personal terms are agreed. The left-back, a Republic of Ireland Under-19 international, has become a regular for Dundalk since being handed a league debut for the Lilywhites in a 2-0 defeat at home to Waterford FC last June by then manager Jon Daly. He has continued to flourish for the SSE Airtricity Men's First Division leaders this season, with current boss Ciarán Kilduff describing him as "the best left-back in the country in either division." The teenager from Skerries in Co Dublin has made 38 appearances for Dundalk, scoring twice. He has also been capped four times by Tom Mohan's Irish U-19 side in their UEFA Euro U19 Championship qualifiers. Keogh, who completed his Leaving Cert earlier this summer, is the first Dundalk player to move to Brighton since Richie Towell a decade ago. Towell moved at the end of the 2015 season as a free agent. The club from the south coast of England, who finished eighth in last season's Premier League, have signed a number of Irish players in recent years. Former Bohemians striker Evan Ferguson is expected to move to Serie A outfit Roma on loan shortly but his fellow senior international Andrew Moran and U-21 defender Eiran Cashin remain on their books. It was also announced today that Cork City winger Malik Dijksteel has signed a pre-contract agreement with Scottish Premiership outfit St Mirren.
