Brighton midfielder Steven Alzate says he's proud to be playing for Colombia.

Born in Camden to Colombian parents, Alzate opted to play for the South American nation and now has four senior caps.

He told The Sun: “Sharing a pitch with players of the calibre of Falcao and James Rodriguez was an honour.

“But I wasn't too fazed. It's my job. I've played with big players before and I've played against big players in the Premier League.

“Falcao's a lovely, lovely person. From the moment he saw me, he started speaking to me as if he had known me for years. That made me feel really comfortable straight away."
