Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi admits he has so much young talent at his disposal.

The Italian was speaking after 19-year-old Mark O'Mahony was brought on against Burnley in a 1-1 draw in the Premier League.

After bringing out his latest teen debutant, De Zerbi confessed that O'Mahony deserved a chance to show his talent.

He said post-game, per The Argus: “He has an incredible behavior, an incredible attitude.

“When I saw Joao Pedro with cramp, I didn't want to take a risk with him and we have on the bench one goalscorer, one striker."

“It is not important how old he is.

“The striker was Mark and I gave him the chance to play. He deserved to play."
