Brighton head coach Graham Potter believes there was no question about keeping Danny Welbeck this summer.
The 31-year-old forward was outstanding in a 2-1 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford in the Premier League last weekend.
The Albion began their season in ideal fashion, with Welbeck tormenting United defenders Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez.
"I didn't have any doubts, no," Potter told reporters about Welbeck staying.
"It was a no-brainer to me because of what he brings on and off the pitch.
"He is as impressive off the pitch as he is on it so when you have got that then you realise that is a valuable asset.
"I have always kept it quite simple with Danny; if he is playing and he is enjoying his football and he's fit then everything else takes care of itself.
"Then you can see his quality and then you can see what he brings to any team so it is really exciting for us, the level he is at, and the job now is to keep him at that level."
