Praising Rutter: Hurzeler's thoughts on Brighton debut

The club's most expensive signing is expected to make an appearance against Tottenham in the upcoming Premier League match on Sunday.

Rutter was tasked with improving his fitness and has done so over the past few weeks.

In a press conference, head coach Fabian Huerzeler said: “I think he also showed before that goal good performances.

“He’s a guy who doesn't need goals to believe in himself and I think he has had a great impact, a great start to his new club.

“He's a very humble person, he tries to work hard.

“His shape when he arrived was not the best but now, through the training sessions, he has got fitter and fitter and we are very happy to have him in our squad.”
