Brighton midfielder Alexis Mac Allister says he now feels Premier League class.

The Argentina international started all but one of their league games from Boxing Day onwards, becoming an integral part of the Albion midfield.

“It has been the best season of my career and I have improved on a lot of things, as a human being and as a footballer," Mac Allister said. "It was a fantastic season for me and for the club, that was really important.

“I feel like a Premier League player now. But I always want to improve, I will keep working hard because it's very important for me.

“I worked a lot on the physical aspect in the first year and today I feel a lot stronger – that's really important to play in England I have found."
