The France U21 international passed a medical on Monday and it is understand that the fee for the 22-year-old is around £20m. Maupay scored 41 times for Brentford in the Championship over the past two seasons after joining from St Etienne in summer 2017.
Brighton head coach Graham Potter said: “Neal is a talented striker, with good strength and pace, and he is a goalscorer. He will add an extra dimension to our existing forward options, and we are delighted to have completed the transfer.
“The club has been monitoring Neal and has been aware of his ability for some time. Separately I was also aware of his obvious ability at Swansea, and came up against him in the Championship last season.
“His record in the Championship has been exceptional, with 41 goals across the last two seasons, and now his challenge is to transfer that to the Premier League.”
