Brighton manager Potter: Bissouma has Champions League class

Brighton manager Graham Potter recognises Yves Bissouma can play at a higher level.

Potter believes Bissouma has the potential to play Champions League football following his stunner in the 2-1 win over Blackpool, but insists he is not currently concerned about him being sold.

"He's got that quality (to play in the Champions League), he's got those attributes that you need at that level," said Potter of Bissouma, who has been linked with a move to Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal. "It's about him being consistent enough to do that. I think he's made steps with that but there's still more to do and more to come.

"It's just nice that our players have taken a step forward, it's nice for Yves that he's taken a step forward. You never know anything in football these days.

"But from his perspective, I think he's happy here, he wants to help the team, so we are quite relaxed about everything."
