BBC Radio Sussex reporter Johnny Cantor believes that Charalampos Kostoulas is playing himself into contention for a place in Brighton's starting 11. The 18-year-old impressed in his substitute appearance against West Ham, and forced a smart save from Alphonse Areola on an afternoon on which Brighton struggled to hit the target. Since signing in June, the Greek forward has made six Premier League appearances from the bench for Brighton, scoring a late goal at Manchester United, but is yet to make his full league debut.
BBC Radio Sussex reporter Johnny Cantor believes that Charalampos Kostoulas is playing himself into contention for a place in Brighton's starting 11.
The 18-year-old impressed in his substitute appearance against West Ham, and forced a smart save from Alphonse Areola on an afternoon on which Brighton struggled to hit the target.
Since signing in June, the Greek forward has made six Premier League appearances from the bench for Brighton, scoring a late goal at Manchester United, but is yet to make his full league debut.
"I thought he livened things up," said Cantor, speaking on the Albion Unlimited podcast. "Keen to shoot, nice close control.
"He protects the ball really well. He's not the biggest of players, and he's only young, of course, but he doesn't seem to lose the ball in possession that much.
"His body positioning is really good. He's alert and quite creative.
"I think he will be pushing to be involved from the start soon."
