Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi admits he wants to keep Danny Welbeck.

The striker's deal expires at the end of this season.

Before defeat at Luton, De Zerbi said: “I hope the club can extend his contract because he is still a great player, and he is important in the dressing room."

Welbeck is in his fourth season with the Seagulls.

He is now on 107 games for Brighton.
