Racon comes in to bolster a depleted Brighton squad (Getty)

Brighton have signed central midfielder Therry Racon on loan from Charlton for the rest of the season.

The 23-year-old Frenchman joined the Addicks from Guingamp but has only started one game for the London side.

Racon had other loan offers but told BBC Southern Counties Radio: "I like to pass and move and Brighton play like that. That's why I chose them."

He's expected to make an immediate debut at home to Swindon Town on Saturday - replacing Adam El-Abd.
