Sounds like this to me.

He would give the option for Potter to play Lamptey further up the pitch when required as flexibility, but this is probably the door for Montoya.

Looks like we've been interested for a while.
Unveiling Veltman in conversation with Van der Meijde: 'Brighton really wanted me'
Published:*Tue 11/26/2019 at 8:38 PM
Joël Veltman was in the concrete interest of Brighton & Hove Albion last summer, he reveals in the YouTube show Bij Andy in de Auto.*However, Ajax did not want to participate in a transfer, according to the central defender.
Veltman was mainly linked to West Ham United in the boulevard media and announced in early September - just after he extended his contract in Amsterdam - that there was interest from the Premier League.*The 27-year-old North Hollander did not mention names at the time, but let Andy know that Brighton was in the market in conversation with Andy van der Meijde.*"Among other things, West Ham was interested. Who else? Brighton. They really wanted me, but Ajax said no."

Welcome to the Albion Joel! Disappointingly, there is absolutely NOTHING to moan about here.

I wonder if Veltman's signing means either Alireza or Pröpper is heading to Ajax... or could be just my bolleaux thoughts for sure.
When you think about it, aside from Montoya there’s not actually that much elite level experience in our defenders.
Yes Dunky, but it’s still only his 3rd season in the PL. Webster is new, as is Lamptey, as is Burn, as is... Ben White.
Guys, we’ve just signed a Champions League player, Ajax’s RB, to help pass on some experience to our defence. And for 900k. Outstanding business by the club.

Often criticised and abused as the tweet above your post says
Read twitter again. It's a blood bath.
And there's a lot of Ajax fans taking the piss on insta..
Dutch international RB from Ajax with 20 caps, all for £900K (assuming all that is true) - seems a fantastic bargain, even for an area I didn't think we needed to strengthen..
At 28 though, I can't understand why he would come from Ajax to Brighton mainly - presumably - to keep the bench warm most of the time.

Just thought of him. Mental. Potter can defo find a way to fit all in the first 11.

Im not on twatter, but if I was, I could see a mischevious tweet or 2 (then shared to Marching On Together), that someone who knows xyz at the club has said we've bought in Veltman as White actually does want to go back.
Then sit back and take popcorn!

This looks to be a very astute signing, an international player who can play in more than one position and we don't even think he will be in the starting line up.
I had said I wanted 3 new signings this summer but to have 2 in the first week would leave just 1 more in 2 months...this is too long a transfer window for just 1 more. A striker next please Uncle Tony

This would be the ultimate wet dream if Hughton was still here, we could play an 8-1-1
£900k?! ****ing hell! Sounds like a great bit of business.
