Brighton have sacked academy director John Morling, according to The Daily Mail.
Reports circulated last week that Morling - who had spent almost a decade at the Seagulls - was on Newcastle’s radar as the owners look to improve the club’s youth setup.
His appointment would likely be the third arrival from the south coast, with centre-back Dan Burn joining in January and Dan Ashworth widely tipped to become the new sporting director.
