Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi insists Evan Ferguson still has much to improve.

De Zerbi was asked about his young striker in an interview with DAZN Italia.

He said: "Harry Kane is even more complete than Ferguson. He knows how to play 30-40 meters far away from the goal, he delivers assists with the quality of a No.10. He is smart to move away from the penalty box and link up with the team.

Ferguson is like a sniper but must improve outside the box a little. Not for me. For me and Brighton, it's enough to have a player born in 2004 with 20 Premier League goals. If he wants to join a top team, he must know that the striker they want must be able to with the team like Lewandowski, Kean, Benzema and Haaland.

"Being a smart guy with the right commitment Ferguson must work to become more complete."
