Razak and Assulin join Brighton from Manchester City
Brighton have signed Manchester City midfield duo Abdul Razak and Gai Assulin on loan.
The Seagulls have completed the double signing in time for the pair to be available for this weekend's FA Cup trip to Liverpool.
Razak has signed on loan until the end of the season, while former Barcelona youngster Assulin has joined initially for a month with the option of an extension.
19-year-old Razak, who has made four appeaarances for City this season, enjoyed a spell on loan at Portsmouth earlier this term, while Assulin has yet to feature for City's first-team since arriving at the club in the summer of 2010.
Brighton boss Gus Poyet is delighted to land the pair and believes they will prove valuable additions to his squad.

"Abdul is the type of midfielder I have wanted to bring into the squad for some time," Poyet told the club's
official website.
"He is someone we have been aware of for a while.
"Gai is technically very capable, and has great ability on the ball.
"He showed great potential as an outstanding young talent under Pep Guardiola at Barcelona - I hope he can realise some of that potential here at Brighton."
