Sky Sports – BRIGHTON, Chris Hughton believes Alireza Jahanbakhsh can make a real impact for Brighton.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brighton boss Chris Hughton has backed club-record signing Alireza Jahanbakhsh to show his true talent in the Premier League next season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Albion splashed \u00a317m on the Iran international after he topped the Eredivisie scoring charts with AZ Alkmaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the 25-year-old winger has so failed to find the net for the Seagulls and was dropped from their squad for last weekend’s 1-1 draw with Newcastle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With survival now guaranteed, Hughton is confident that Jahanbakhsh and fellow summer signing Florin Andone will adapt to England’s top-flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of Brighton’s game at Arsenal on Super Sunday, live on Sky Sports Premier League<\/em>, Hughton said: Sometimes it’s difficult when you’ve brought a player in and you have other options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A lot of players that don’t settle into that first season can or possibly could argue that if they had played more regularly, they would have worked through it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“But that’s trying to get that balance between what you feel is your best team at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“With the players mentioned (Jahanbakhsh and Andone), I’m sure there will be more from them next season.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cardiff’s 3-2 home defeat to Crystal Palace on Saturday banished Brighton’s lingering relegation doubts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Albion now have a pressure-free trip to the Emirates Stadium, before finishing the season at the Amex Stadium against title-chasing Manchester City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hughton believes Unai Emery has done “a wonderful job” since succeeding the long-serving Arsene Wenger at Arsenal and expects the Gunners to improve further under the Spaniard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The London club sit two points off the top four in the race for Champions League qualification and are on the brink of reaching the Europa League final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’m looking at the period of time he’s been in and also what he took over – a manager that had been at the club for so many years,” Hughton said of Emery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
