Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi admits Julio Enciso could start tonight against Bournemouth.

The youngster has been working towards a full Premier League debut in recent weeks.

De Zerbi said: "In this game, Julio could start he's ready. He played very well [against Brentford] and was important in the last part [of the match]. He has to think of the team and not for himself because he always tries to score or tries to make an individual game.

"But that's normal, he has personality, he has courage and I like him. Facundo Buonanotte is the same as Julio, but Facundo joined us only in January."

On the Cherries, the Italian also said: "We have to be alert, because it will be a difficult game. In their stadium they have beaten Liverpool and Fulham recently so to win we have to give our best and if we play at 90% of our best, we can't win.

"It's another crucial game. If we want to reach our target we have to improve in the areas we lost two points against Brentford on Saturday. The target is Europe next year. Which competition, we will see. We want to play in the middle of the week next season three games per week, Europe."
