Brighton manager Dean Wilkins has revealed his doubts over the fitness of trialist Jean-Marcial Kipre.
The former Paris St Germain defender has impressed in training with the Seagulls and has also played in a reserve and friendly match.
Wilkins told the Brighton Argus: "We need to be as thorough as we can when we bring somebody in.
"We need to sit down and talk to his agent and we need to get fitness details from his previous club.
"He is quick. I understand in tests he did 40 metres in something like five seconds.
"But I felt watching him his endurance and stamina were not as good as they could have been."
