He told Sky Sports: “I’ve been here three, three-and-a-half years already? And I know what this club gave to me, I’m really grateful with them, really happy to be here.
“I try to transmit that to my teammates, the young players – South American players, which we’ve got a lot. It’s a fantastic team, it’s like a family so every time I get to the pitch I really enjoy playing here.”
However, Brighton CEO Paul Barber has conceded it is impossible for them to keep all their best players at the club. Barber said: “I think every club these days is a selling club to some extent, even the biggest clubs sometimes get tempted by unbelievable offers for their players.
“Our challenge is to make sure that when we do lose players we’ve got players either already in the door, which is our ideal position, or coming back very quickly after them.”
