The Dutchman has grown tired of the lack of opportunities afforded to him on the south coast.

Locadia only joined the 'Seagulls' from PSV Eindhoven in January, but after a lack of regular playing time, he is seriously contemplating an exit from the Premier League club. 

He is yet to find the net in 8 appearances for Brighton, and having only started one of those matches, Locadia is growing tired of his place in Chris Hughton's set up. 

The Dutchman believes he has hardly been afforded sufficient time at the AMEX Stadium, in which to prove his capabilities, and as such, has suggested that he may leave.

Locadia spoke to Dutch newpaper 'Der Telegraaf' this week about his current predicament. He said: ""I try to stay positive, but I also get older. I am now at an age that I have to play weekly. At Brighton, I do not feel that my situation will change quickly. In my opinion, I never had the chance to show what I am worth. I think winter is a good time to think if this is still good for me."

He added: "I never had a real clear explanation as to why I do not play. The manager will find the other strikers better. I must, of course, respect that. But it is also my career, I cannot keep saying 'yes and amen'. I train super hard, I am fit, but I especially have to show it in 10 minutes of inclusion. That is really difficult."
