Jürgen Locadia arrived at Brighton & Hove Albion from PSV Eindhoven last summer.
In his debut season in the Premier League, the forward struggled and managed only two goals in 26 league appearances, adding two more goals in the cup competition to his overall tally.
After failing to impress for the Seagulls, the 25-year-old is now expected to join Hoffenheim, according to reports.
VTBL claims the Dutchman will undergo his medical with the Bundesliga side on Thursday before completing his transfer. He will be playing under the guidance of his compatriot Alfred Schreuder.
An early injury to Andrej Kramarić has forced the Hoffenheim manager to look for a replacement and his initial target was Kasper Dolberg. Since they couldn’t sign the Ajax star, who is now at OGC Nice, Hoffenheim shifted their focus on the Brighton player.
VTBL’s report doesn’t make it clear whether Locadia is joining the German club on a loan deal or on a permanent transfer. He still has three more years left on his contract with Brighton.
Two days ago, De Telegraaf reported that Hoffenheim will sign the attacker on a temporary deal for one season.
