The 21-year-old Paraguayan, who has 12 international caps, will join the Seagulls on January 1, when the transfer window opens, having completed the MLS season with Miami.
Speaking on his latest acquisition, Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler said: “We’re looking forward to working with Diego very soon, he has already made a real impression both at club and international level.”
“Like all young players who come to us from abroad, he will need a period of adjustment to the Premier League, but I feel he can make a big contribution and I’m looking forward to working with him.” he added.
Gomez departs Miami in a deal believed to be one of the biggest in MLS history, after just one season and 28 games for the club.
