They will be even more excited when they see what legendary striker, Ian Wright has to say about him.
“I hope that he gets to play regularly and Brighton start playing to his strengths and get him involved more. I’d get the ball into him as soon as possible through those lines, because he links the play very well, he’s got very intelligent movement in that last third, and he wants to get into the box.” Wrighty said in an interview on the Second Captain’s podcast.
“That’s what I would do. You look at him – he’s good in the air, he’s good on the floor, he can make good movement in the box. He’s somebody who has got all the attributes. Now, how can we get it to him quicker? I’m not saying Brighton have to launch it, but they’ve got another option now he’s playing.
“They could play it through like we saw them do to Liverpool the other day, cut them to pieces, or they can go direct, get it into him, he can link play, people can go beyond him.
“They could do so many things with a striker who’s got the capabilities that he’s got. He’s got everything. He’s got the size, the touch, the shooting power, he’s got the movement in the box.”
