Kaoru Mitoma says James Milner has quickly settled at Brighton.

The former Liverpool midfielder impressed for Saturday's win against Luton.

Mitoma said: "With Milner, it's not common that someone is able to play with that quality in that age.

“Coming into a new team and showing such a performance was really impressive. I played against him in training and I felt he was really a tough opponent. He is new leader for us, who is always cheering the team up."

He also told the club's website: “It was important that we won but my individual performance was still not good enough. I just have to keep trying to improve it.

“It was good to get an assist but my quality is not good yet. This season I want to do various things [better] like scoring more goals, creating more assists and contributing to the team with more running distance."
