Brighton manager Potter impressed by improvement in Arsenal, Liverpool target Bissouma

Brighton manager Graham Potter has been impressed with Yves Bissouma's progress this season.

The Mali midfielder, who has been linked with Arsenal and Liverpool, was man of the match in the draw with Everton on Monday.

And Potter believes the 22-year-old is thriving amongst his more experienced teammates.

"He's tried very hard to understand what we are trying to do as a team," said Potter. "He's been playing in the role often so he understands what he has to do. Adam (Lallana) plays an important role alongside him as well as Pascal [Gross] and Lewis Dunk behind him.

"They help him. He's taken his game forward. We knew the quality he had. It's about getting that consistency."
