Roberto De Zerbi says Moises Caicedo is an example to Albion's youngsters coming from overseas.
He believes the conveyor belt will continue to develop Premier League gems spotted by the recruitment team.
Albion’s global talent-spotting is earning widespread praise as lower-budget prospects are snapped up and polished for Prem action.
Ecuador midfielder Caicedo leads the way as he impresses on a regular basis.
But Japan internationa Kaoru Mitoma was the talk of Molineux as he helped the Seagulls beat Wolves 3-2 on Saturday.
He has settled quickly since arriving in the summer.
Albion will bring in teen star Facundo Buonanotte from Argentina in January after an agreement was confirmed last week Asked about how the club develop young players, head coach De Zerbi said: “The last (most recent) player can be Buonanotte, no?
“Buonanotte is very young but a very good player.
“Caicedo is an example.”
Mitoma was involved in all three Albion goals as he took star billing on Saturday.
De Zerbi said: “Mitoma is a big player and I think he has very big potential.
“He didn’t show all his potential.
“He can improve a lot and he can become a very big player.”
South American starlets Julio Enciso and Jeremy Sarmiento are among the players who could get chance to shine at Arsenal in the Carabao Cup tomorrow.
