Argentinian right-back signs three-year deal after moving from Sporting Lisbon

Brighton & Hove Albion have announced the signing of right-back Ezequiel Schelotto from Sporting Lisbon.

The 28-year-old, who is the club's 12th signing of the summer, has agreed a three-year deal.

"Ezequiel has made nearly 190 appearances in the top flight in Italy and Portugal and has played in the Champions League and is the type of experienced player we want to add to the squad," Albion manager Chris Hughton told brightonandhovealbion.com.

The Argentinian defender could make his Premier League debut on 9 September when Brighton host West Bromwich Albion.
