Brighton striker Abdallah Sima is joining French club Stade Brest on a season-long loan.
The 23-year-old Senegal international scored 16 goals in 39 games on loan at Glasgow Rangers last season.
They were keen to sign Sima, who is under contract at Brighton until 2026, on a permanent deal.
Brighton’s technical director David Weir said: “Abdallah had a successful period with Rangers last season and this loan will give him the opportunity to get regular minutes in a good league at a club who finished third in France last season and will be playing in the Champions League this season.
“We wish him well and Pathway Development Manager Gordon Greer and his team will monitor his progress.”
Sima is returning to Ligue 1 in France, having previously been on loan to Angers. He has also been borrowed by Championship club Stoke City since joining Brighton from Slavia Prague in 2021.
