Evan Ferguson has been told Albion will help him up his game.

The Irish striker is closing in on the anniversary of his first Premier League goal.

He has gone from strength to strength since netting at home to Arsenal on New Year’s Eve last year.

But Roberto De Zerbi says he can be helped to reach new heights.

The Seagulls head coach said: “For the young, young players, you can expect different types of performances.

“There is a time when they play very well, they score.

“In a different moment they can suffer.

“In the last two months, Evan has suffered through injury, through other things.

“But he can play better and the level of Evan is higher than what he’s playing in this moment.

“We have to help him, he has to help himself, to understand the player he can be.

“He is very young, he is like my son.

“I want to do everything to help him.

“He can become a great player for sure.”
