Brighton boss Graham Potter open minded over striker's future

The striker has found game time hard to come by this season, having only played 187 minutes in four appearances in all competitions this season.

Locadia spent last season out on loan and was expected by many to leave the club on the permanent deal during the summer but ended up staying and becoming part of the squad.

The manager admitted that the club will do what it is best for Locadia in the January transfer window.

Jurgen Locadia joined Brighton and Hove Albion in 2018

He said: "Like all the players who have been limited in game time, you've got to look at what is best for them when the window opens.

"Jurgen has been great since he's come back, working hard, working for the team.

"We're open-minded and we will see."
