Blackburn boss Eustace hails 'magnificent' Brighton loanee Ayari

Brighton loanee Yasin Ayari has been hailed as a possible superstar this week.

The youngster was praised by his loan manager John Eustance at Blackburn Rovers.

The Ewood Park team earned a 1-1 draw against Plymouth, during which Ayari impressed.

After the game, Rovers boss Eustace told reporters: "I thought he was magnificent.

“He has come off the bench in the last couple of games without playing at all really.

“I thought he sat in there in midfield and broke the play up well.

“He was aggressive, very energetic and I was pleased for him.

"He tired during the second half and the first half and that is understandable because he hasn't played many games. This is where we are at the moment.

"We haven't got a consistent team that are Championship hardened and play week in, week out, especially in midfield, we are very light.
