Brighton defender Joel Veltman says he's happy to step in at centre-half when needed.
With Dan Burn now gone, Veltman can play centre-back as well as full-back and perform equally well in both..
He said, "That's a nice thing from Ajax because in the youth academy, every trainer was an ex-professional and each one has his own skillset. One would focus on heading, another was focusing on passing, or it was positioning.
"So through the youth we got everything from a different kind of gaffer or coach. I think that was a great thing for my development.
"I remember in the Dutch league you can be so much smarter than the opponent but over here the opponent will put his body into you and you can do nothing. So yes, I'm even more smarter now than I was then."
