Brighton star Pascal Gross has been given his biggest plaudit yet this week.
The German midfielder is set to reach 200 appearances for the Albion when they take on Crystal Palace next week.
Gross has managed 34 Premier League assists and 23 goals in his time at the club.
Albion boss Roberto De Zerbi said, per The Argus: To explain the importance of Pascal, I can tell you he is one of the best players I have had in my career.
He is a fantastic player. He can play everywhere on the pitch.
He is fantastic in terms of attitude and passion.
He is very clever to understand difficult situations and I am lucky to have him in my team.
He is a leader like Lewis Dunk, like Adam Lallana, like Danny Welbeck.
They are different types of leader but they are always positive guys.
The secret of Brighton is not the coach or style of play, the secret of Brighton is the part of the squad like Pascal, like Dunk, like Welbeck."
