Brighton midfielder March: De Zerbi has set me goals target

Brighton midfielder Solly March admits manager Roberto de Zerbi has set him a goals target this season.

March scored twice in Saturday's 4-1 win against Wolves.

“I was talking to the coaches before the game about busting a gut to get into the box and it worked perfectly," he said. “We can do that a lot more. Tap-ins will help me get a lot more goals.

“The manager has set me a target of 15, so there is still a long way to go, but it is a good start."

March also told the club's website: “Obviously we're only two games in but we've got winnable games coming up so we've just got to keep going and keep working hard. So it's a great start, but there's still more work to do.

“I think we were confident that we could have a good start to the season. We've got great players and a great manager who sets us up the right way. Obviously things have to go well and you have to take your chances, which we have done. So we have to keep doing what we have done and getting in the right positions and being clinical, which is the key."
