Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi wants even more from his Japanese talent Koaru Mitoma.

The young attacker has been in red hot form this season, managing seven goals in his last 11 matches.

He also scored a winner against Liverpool in the FA Cup in recent weeks.

Asked about Mitoma by reporters, DeZerbi stated: “How many goals has he now – seven?

“Now I have to raise the target of goals [to ten].

“But I think we need the goals of Mitoma, of (Solly) March.

“Of (Deniz) Undav and (Danny) Welbeck. Both played a great game (on Saturday) without a goal but I liked them."

He added: “He is always near me and, for me, it is very important to give them instruction.

“It's easier for me because I'm not playing."
