Brighton manager Hughton: Jahanbakhsh will score goals

Brighton manager Chris Hughton is confident Alireza Jahanbakhsh will contribute on the scoresheet.

Iran international Jahanbakhsh became the Seagulls' record signing in the summer but has yet to open his account.

He came close in Saturday's win over Huddersfield and Hughton thinks it won't be too long until the winger breaks his duck.

"Yes and I am hoping we are going to see more," Hughton told The Argus. "He is a goalscorer and that is why we brought him in.

"Particularly in a 4-3-3, you know you can get goals from your number nine but we are missing Jose's goals from last year from the left.

"Jurgen is a different player, Anthony hasn't been a big goalscorer for us, so you like to think that with Alireza in the team we can get more goals."
