Albion are poised to face Arsenal's highly rated teenage striker Chuba Akpom at the Amex for the third time this season.
The 19-year-old is expected to join the Seagulls' next opponents Norwich on loan for the rest of the campaign before Thursday's deadline.
Akpom hit a hat-trick for Arsenal's under-21s against Albion at the Amex in December.
He also featured as a second half substitute in the Gunners' FA Cup win at the stadium at the end of January.
Derby, Bournemouth, Ipswich and Forest are all reportedly keen On Akpom as well but he is expected to sign for Norwich, Albion's opponents on Good Friday.
