The midfielder has been with Southampton since the age of seven and even made his senior debut for the Saints against Brighton at the Amex Stadium last term.

Injury has however slowed his progress this year and he has made just two first team appearances in total for Russell Martin's team.

The two clubs are said to have agreed a fee for Doyle and he will add to Brighton's ever growing list of talented youngsters pushing for first team football.

Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi has handed opportunities to the younger players this term – including the likes of teenagers Jack Hinshelwood, Carlos Baleba and Facundo Buonanotte – and Doyle could provide the Italian head coach with further options in the coming seasons.

The youngster had previously been linked with moves to West Ham and Fulham.
