Graham Potter says Yves Bissouma at his best has Champions League quality.
But the Albion boss is not concerned about reports linking his midfield star with other Prem clubs.
Bissouma opened the scoring with a super strike as the Seagulls beat Blackpool 2-1.
His name has often been put in the frame with bigger clubs, even going back to his days at Lille.
Performances this season will have further alerted interest around the Prem.
Asked whether he is good enough to play in the Champions League on a regular basis, Potter said: “I think the best Yves Bissouma can, absolutely.
“He has got that quality, he has got the attributes you need at that level.
“It is about him being consistent enough to do that and he has made steps with that.
“But there is still more to do, more to come.”
Albion have no plans to sell any key players this month - and that includes Bissouma.
Potter added: “He is happy here. He is improving. He knows he has a bit to do as well.
“He wants the team to be successful and to help the team so we are quite relaxed about it.”
