Brighton boss De Zerbi delighted with Barco progress

Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi is delighted with what he's seen from January signing Valentin Barco.

De Zerbi is happy with the passion the wing-back is showing.

He said, Barco makes a difference with his character, with his attitude, with his blood.

I think he is incredible in terms of his behaviour.

I don't know if he is ready yet to play as a full-back.

When you have the ball, okay.

But when you have to defend against a motorcycle - because in the Premier League as wingers there are motorcycles with great power - he can be in a different situation.

I love him because he has passion, a strong character.

He can sell his personality because he has too much personality."
