Scotland under-19 boss Ricky Sbragia controversially dropped Harper from his squad in March, labelling him a “luxury” player, this alerted the Spanish FA who made approaches, however, Harper remained adamant he wants to play for Scotland.
Brighton are yet to confirm the move, however, the signing would be quite the coup for the team who finished 20th in last season’s Championship table.
