Graham Potter has explained how Neal Maupay made him a better coach in an admission that will be of interest to Frank Lampard.
The 26-year-old spent three years on the south coast, scoring 27 goals in 109 appearances, but has recently fallen out of favour as Potter continues to evolve his side. He hadn’t featured for the Seagulls in the opening weeks of the season and his dwindling status in the squad hierarchy forced a move away.
Everton came calling and quickly secured a £15million deal for the French striker, who put pen to paper on a three-year contract last Friday. Toffees fans have already seen that Maupay can bring goals and relentless running, but former boss Potter detailed a quality that will be more intriguing to Lampard - that the striker is one of few who made him a better coach.
