Brighton boss Potter delivers challenge to Bissouma

Graham Potter is hoping Yves Bissouma can add goals to his Brighton side against Aston Villa on Wednesday.

Bissouma came off the bench against Newcastle last Saturday and will likely start in the Carabao Cup clash with Villa.

Quizzed on whether Bissouma can add to his side's goalscoring threat, Potter said: "I think so. He has got the qualities.

"It is about getting him into the right areas of the pitch, getting him to shoot at the right time and from the right places – because sometimes he shoots from maybe not the best location – but you can see his ability.

"He has only been training with us a week but you can already tell he's that type of footballer, a free player, that can excite and get a crowd off their seats.

"He has worked hard to get back from his injury and we're looking forward to seeing him on the pitch on Wednesday.

"It is a good game for him to get some time on the pitch."
