Former Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder, Steven Alzate, is reportedly moving to Atlanta United.

The MLS club have placed a bid of £1.5m plus add-ons for the 26-year-old as Hull City have accepted the offer.

Atlanta are now negotiating personal terms for the Colombian player, aiming for a three-and-a-half-year deal.
