Hughton brings in young duo
Brighton boss Chris Hughton has signed Jan Mlakar and Tudor-Cristian Baluta although they will remain with their clubs on loan until the end of the season.
Mlakar joins the Seagulls from Maribor while Baluta moves to the Amex Stadium from Viitorul Constanta.
Both players have signed three-and-a-half-year contracts with the club.
Mlakar, a 20-year-old striker, said: "It happened very quickly. Two days ago my agent told me that Brighton wanted me here, so I didn't think too much about it and accepted their offer. I'm really glad to be here.
"I know that the club has a lot of history and I've watched their last few games too. I know that they always want to be better, and that's perfect for me."
Meanwhile, Romania international Baluta, 19, said: "I'm very happy to be here - it's a great day for me and to decide to be part of this club is the best decision that I've made.
"I'm really happy and can't wait to get started in the summer, I chose the club because of the facilities and everything here.
"The training ground, the staff, the first team, the stadium - everything is incredible, and I think I've made the right decision. It's always been my dream to play in England and now I'm close to doing that, I can't wait to play for the team."
Brighton entertain Watford on Saturday and can be backed at 31/20 to beat the Hornets and at 2/1 to keep a clean sheet in the encounter.
