Gus Poyet has heaped praise on Liverpool striker Luis Suarez and believes he can only get better once he has settled at Anfield.
The Uruguay international, who moved to Merseyside from Ajax in the January transfer window, has impressed since his £23 million switch, scoring three goals in nine Premier League starts.
And the Brighton manager is now tipping his fellow countryman to improve after becoming accustomed to life in England.
He told Yahoo!: “I’m pleased that he made that decision and I’m sure he will be even better when he gets used to the culture of Liverpool Football Club.”
Poyet, who enjoyed several seasons as a player at Chelsea, is adamant that more Uruguayans can be a success in the Premier League.
“Well, I’m pleased. I’m so happy – I’m the happiest person in England, really, because I am convinced about players from Uruguay, with the mentality we have got, and the mentality that we bring to any club,” he added.
“One player from Uruguay is very important for any English team and I try to convince so many of my fellow countrymen to come to play in England.”
