He’s quality.

The Reds currently find themselves two goals up at the time of writing, courtesy of efforts from Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota.

With 75 minutes on the clock (at the time of writing), the former Seagulls maestro has recorded three key passes, 79 touches, won 9/12 ground duels and completed three interceptions, according to Sofascore.
What more could you ask for from our resident No.6 following Wataru Endo’s Asian Cup-enforced temporary exit from the squad?

Please can we hand Brighton another £10m at least?
