    Former Brighton winger Kazenga LuaLua has fond memories of his time at the club, describing it as the high point of his football career.

    And he believes the Seagulls' rise is no surprise, praising the club's infrastructure developments - from the move to Amex Stadium to the new training ground - as pivotal steps that have helped them flourish.

    "It was the best time I had in my football career," LuaLua told BBC Radio Sussex's Albion Unlimited podcast.

    "I always say this about Brighton when I talk to people about it. I have nothing bad to say about Brighton. I always say good things because they changed my life in a nice way. They gave me a platform to show what I can do, and I'm always grateful.

    "When I first signed, I got injured, and then I was sent back to Newcastle to do my treatment. I remember Gus Poyet telling me: 'I want you back here next season.' For him to say that and want me with me being injured as well, was unbelievable.

    "It was the best thing the club has ever done [moving to the Amex] and that was the start - then to get the new training ground, and from there Brighton just flew.

    "I am not surprised [by Brighton playing in Europe] as the club was moving in the right direction. It's nice to see. I hope they can keep improving."

    Danny Welbeck celebratingGetty Images

    Former Brighton forward Warren Aspinall was full of praise for Danny Welbeck's resurgence after he inspired the Seagulls to a 2-1 victory over Newcastle United at the weekend.

    The striker has now scored four in his past three games, including doubles against Chelsea and Newcastle, with his sharpness in front of goal matched by an intensity and experience that have become vital to Fabian Hurzeler's side.

    "Like a good wine, he's maturing with age," Aspinall said told BBC Radio Sussex's Albion Unlimited podcast.

    "He sets standards on and off the pitch and his all-round game is getting better. I don't know what he's doing with his recovery, but it's working. That's for sure."

    Welbeck's work ethic and leadership also drew admiration from team-mate Jan Paul van Hecke, who highlighted the example he sets for others in the squad.

    "Incredible, not only his goals, but his work rate," Van Hecke said.

    "Everyone knows that when you play for us, you have to work really hard as we don't have the superstars here. But when you see Danny setting the example, all the boys will follow him and are really happy with him."
