Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi has heaped praise on youngster Carlos Baleba.
The Albion summer signing has been told that he can become one of the best in the world.
Baleba was finally given his Premier League debut in a 2-2 draw against Liverpool.
Asked about his young midfielder, De Zerbi told reporters: I gave him the right steps.
He played a part of the game with Bournemouth, played 70 minutes in Stamford Bridge [in the League Cup] in a big stadium.
I gave him time to understand the new style of play, the timing of when to receive the ball, the right line of passing: our idea. It is not so easy [to learn] because our style, in the defensive phase we can change depending on the opponent, our build-up play can change.
He's very young, a very good player with incredible potential, and he can be one of the most important midfielders in Europe in the future."
