Brighton midfielder Steven Alzate says he's been welcomed warmly by Colombia's players.

Albion's midfielder is training with the senior Colombia squad for the first time as they prepare for a friendly versus Peru in Miami.

Alzate said: Everyone welcomed me really well.

I've spoken to all of them and they have made me feel at home.

I've spoken to James, Cuadrado, Lerma, Jeison Murillo and it has been a pleasure.

I need to go slowly. It's the first time I have been called and I need to get used to the level.

I want to play in midfield but, with Brighton, I have played left-back, right back so wherever they put me I will help the team."
