Brighton boss Graham Potter is full of praise for Lewis Dunk.

Potter is delighted with the defender's leadership ability.

“Most people will probably see his quality," Potter told The Argus. “He has got a range of pass, plays through the lines, switches play, plays it fast.

“He has a good understanding of when to play.

“As a defender, he defends his box as well.

“You can talk about passing all you want but if you can't defend it's not so good. Dunky can do all those.

“He is developing and maturing as a guy and as a captain.

“He has grown into that role.

“I think he is just getting better and better."
