Graham Potter Reveals Hopes for Alireza Jahanbakhsh
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Brighton coach Graham Potter says he has no problem with Alireza Jahanbakhsh – but understands he wants more football.
The Iranian was quoted in his country’s media this week complaining about his lack of opportunities and claimed conversations that convinced him to stay last summer were "better than what actually happened."
Jahanbakhsh has said he has to play a lot more at Brighton.
“I spoke to him this morning. He mentioned that. He doesn’t know where that has come from and it’s a bit of a mystery to him,” Potter told Theargus.
“He is still a part of our squad, he is still part of the group. He played against Arsenal, he is training well. He trains well every day,” he added.
“He’s one of our players and we’re trying to help him improve and play more football. Probably it is clear he would like to play more as every player in the group would want to play as much as they can, that’s normal. We have no problems with Ali at all.” Potter concluded.
