Attacking midfielder Pascal Gross has been in fine form for Albion and the German added to his season tally with the winner against Leeds United at the Amex Stadium on Saturday.

BBC pundit Ian Wright has been impressed with the 31-year-old and believes he will be threat to Premier League defences this season ahead of the match against Fulham.

"He's been at the heart of everything they're doing,"said Wright on Match of the Day.

"He's somebody that's been involved in seven goal involvements in seven games, five goals, two assists. He's quality. His first time passing, he's able to see a pass and I think that the problem he's got is Brighton just don't score enough of the chances he creates. He'd probably have more assists.

"Danny Welbeck does well here [for the goal], links the play here and then you can see him [Gross] just ghosting into the back. Once he comes in [to the box], this is what he's doing. He's getting forward more.

"He's very clinical. He's somebody that's getting further forward as you can see by the stats - more touches in the box, more goals. It's early doors but if he carries on like that they're going to have a good season."
