    It has been just over a year since Georginio Rutter headed south from Leeds United to join Brighton.

    In his latest news conference, Fabian Hurzeler spoke at length about the importance of the French attacker in the dressing room in his first 12 months on the south coast.

    "Like he is as a person, [his first year] has been positive," Hurzeler said. "He is always smiling and joking, but when it is time to work he knows to switch on.

    "He is a great connector - normally [in the dressing room] you always have groups but he connects the different cultures, ages and characters. He is not only important for me on the pitch, off it as well.

    "He is a very positive person, every time you see him you need to smile! He brings a positive energy and he gives it to everyone. That is so crucial because there is pressure, but I want the players to enjoy it when they step into the building.

    "It is so important that they find the joy and Georgie brings that."

    Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Everton at Hill Dickinson Stadium (kick-off 14:00).

    Here are the key lines from his news conference:

    • Hurzeler says Jack Hinshelwood is now available for selection after missing last weekend's opener against Fulham. Elsewhere in the squad is "quite positive".

    • On Julio Enciso's rumoured move to BlueCo, the company who own Chelsea: "There are some rumours and talks but nothing has been agreed yet."

    • Hurzeler does not think Enciso's time on the South Coast has been a failure, adding: "Some players perform better in some environments and cultures, but I wouldn't say he had a bad time if he leaves. You can see there is interest in him because he showed great things for us."

    • Matt O'Riley has also been linked with a move away from the club, but Hurzeler says he is "very confident" the Dane will stay.

    • He was asked if there is potential for any last minute incomings: "We are in talks every day. We know each other's opinion and we will see what happens. They are always opportunities in football so never say never."

    • On playing the first official match at Eveton's new stadium: "The atmosphere [at Goodison Park] was a special atmosphere so I expect the same this weekend. We are looking forward to seeing the new stadium but we are not there to be the nice club."

    • Hurzeler says he is very happy with Yasin Ayari's development, but wants to see the Swede "take more responsibility on the pitch" and "grow as a communicator".

    • "On Sunday's opponents: "Moyes' teams are always very organised and difficult to create chances [against]. You have to be awake all of the time. [Jack] Grealish is a great signing and I'm sure he will help Everton, he is an unbelievable talent."

    RC Strasbourg, the club owned by Chelsea's BlueCo owners in France, have brought in academy defender Genesis Antwi to pitch their project.

    Antwi played in Chelsea's Under-21's win over Manchester City on Monday but could move to Strasbourg on a permanent deal as they target a new right-back signing before deadline day.

    Strasbourg also want an attacking option and have contacted representatives of Brighton winger Julio Ensico and Southampton's Sam Edozie.

  18. Kadioglu looks past frustrating draw

    Brighton full-back Ferdi Kadioglu admitted his frustration with the result of Albion's opening weekend clash against Fulham but expressed delight at finally making his Premier League return.

    The Turkish international, who joined from Fenerbahce for £25m last summer, endured a nightmare first campaign in England after suffering a toe injury that required surgery and ruled him out for the entire 2024–25 season.

    Speaking to BBC Radio Sussex, Kadioglu reflected on the challenges of spending such a prolonged spell on the sidelines while stressing that the squad should not dwell too heavily on conceding a late equaliser against Fulham.

    He said: "Disappointed with the result, but happy that I am back after a long time injured. It would have been nice if we had won. I think it was around nine months from my last match. I'm happy to be back with the team.

    "I never experienced a long injury in my career, and this was the first time. The season before I came here, I played 60 matches and last season I just played 10. It was something new for me and I have learnt from it and I will profit from it for the next few years of my career.

    "We had a good pre-season and we just need to continue. We cannot stay in this game; we have a long season ahead."
