Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi says he wants a deep connection with the fans.
The Italian continues to be linked with a move away this season.

I need the connection with the people, with the players.
I want the relationship very close.
I need that because without the relationship with the players, with the fans, with the club, I can't work and I can't give my best."
