Brighton winger Kaoru Mitoma admits his football has thrived under manager Roberto de Zerbi.

The Japan international is enjoying career best form.

"The coach demands a lot from me, so I'm trying my best to meet them," Mitoma told Brighton's website. “The way he sets up the team and his tactics are helping my performance, as it suits my style very well.

“He is very specific about what he wants from me in training and in games. I think my standard on the ball and off the ball are improving step by step, so I feel that I'm developing under his coaching.

“I think ever since our manager took over the team has evolved tactically, and everyone is playing with a great spirit.

“Our quality and technical ability have always been high, and there's competition for every position and that's what led to the great result [against Wolves]."
