​Boussouma potential excites Brighton boss Hughton

Brighton manager Chris Hughton is excited at the potential of Yves Bissouma.

The Mali midfielder is already impressing for the Premier League side, scoring a long range goal in the FA Cup against Bournemouth.

And Hughton believes that when his English improves, he will be fully integrated into the squad.

Hughton told The Argus: "He is still learning. He is a wonderful talent, probably one of the most talented players that we've had here.

"But it's just about nurturing that one. He is still young, he is still learning the language and he will get better.

"I hope so. The game, particularly in the position he plays, is about a lot of aspects and you have got to do enough of those aspects well.

"At the moment he is still developing. I think once he gets a good grasp of the language he'll improve."
