​Brighton boss Potter ecstatic after acquiring 'role model' Lallana

Brighton and Hove Albion boss Graham Potter is delighted to sign Adam Lallana.

The former Southampton and Liverpool man has agreed a free transfer to the Premier League side.

And Potter hopes Lallana can add some much needed guile and quality in midfield for his team.

Head coach Potter said: "There is no doubting Adam's quality, and if you look at his footballing CV his ability is clear for everyone to see.

"He has played at the very highest level, for both club and country, and achieved great things. He has a wealth of experience alongside his technical quality.

"The honours he won during his time at Liverpool, and the high regard in which he is held at Anfield, only further underline his ability and character.

"Adam is a really exciting signing for us, someone I am sure the supporters will be really looking forward to seeing play as and when things are able to begin to return to normal.

"To have both his experience and quality out on the pitch will be a great addition for us, and I know he will be an excellent role model for our younger players in the squad.

"I am really looking forward to working with him when we return for pre-season training in a few weeks."
