Brighton attacker Simon Adingra is delighted with his form in his first season in the Premier League.
Adingra has impressed under manager Roberto de Zerbi.
He told the club's website: "It's gone well so far. My performances in pre-season gave me the belief that I could play in the first team this season, so it's been nice to make that next step. I know that I am new to the team, so I just have to stay focused and be ready for any opportunity I get in the team. I am ambitious; I want to be the best player in my position, but I also know that I have to be patient.
"Since I was a kid, I have dreamt of playing in the Premier League, and while I hoped it would happen, I didn't expect it to happen this quickly! So to now be in this position, I am just enjoying every minute, every game. Of course, every opponent at this level is tough, but I am living my dream and every moment is special.
"I don't get nervous, I'm just enjoying myself whenever I am playing. Football is what I love to do, and I can't wait to play that is just me, that's who I am! The more I play at this level, the more I feel assured, which helps, but I also know that there's always things to learn and to improve on. I'm always ready for whenever the coach gives me a chance and then I have to take my opportunity when it comes along."
