He told seagulls.co.uk, “Leo and I are totally different players, but I know him from when I played against him when he was at Almeria, and he’s a player who can make a difference.
“Whether I play up alongside him though is not for me to say – that’s more to do with the coach and the system he wants to play, but now I want to help the team improve further; I’m a hard-working player – that’s one of my biggest assets along with my speed – and I love to score goals, but the most important thing is to get the fans behind me and to play well.

“It’s been a difficult season for me, however signing for Brighton has compensated that, and hopefully my season can now start again.”
He has already made a big impression on Andrea Orlandi who added, “He is quick, he moves well, he was always a goalscorer in Spain and he’s always been highly rated back home. He’s mobile, small and can also play wide. I think he’s going to contribute well, he’s a good player.”
