Brighton defender Michal Karbownik is targeting a Premier League debut.

The Pole, 19, made his first Albion appearance in the FA Cup defeat at Leicester City last night.

He said: “I grow as a player and a person every day.

“It's a good club to develop and I am delighted to be here. I also really like Brighton itself, it's a nice place.

“I am enjoying working with the manager. I believe he's happy with how I am getting on.

“I am fighting every day in training to show him that I am ready to play in the Premier League."

Karbownik is an option on the left with Solly March ruled out for about 12 weeks by a knee injury.

The Poland international told brightonandhovealbion.com: “I played on the right against Leicester but I feel good playing on either side of defence or in midfield.

“But I don't mind where I play as long as I am in the team."
