Albion winger Jeffrey Monakana is heading back to the Amex on the expiry of his six-month loan spell with Scottish Premier League leaders Aberdeen.
Monakana has been at Pittodrie since July but has not started a game for Derek McInnes' table-toppers.
The 21-year-old former Arsenal youth made ten substitute appearances during his time North of the border.
He has hinted that his loan could have been extended by tweeting: "Very Hard decision, but loved my time at Aberdeen, the staff players have been real good to me!!
"Special thanks to the fans!!! The support has been unreal!!! 100 percent a Aberdeen fan from now! Hopefully the boys do what I think they should do!"
Albion bought Monakana from Preston North End a year ago for an undisclosed fee on a development contract which expires this summer.
He has not made a senior appearance for the Seagulls and was restricted to four sub outings during a two-month loan stint at Crawley at the end of last season.
