The summer signing from Deportivo is yet to feature this season owing to injury but he played 45 minutes of Albion's 2-1 under-23 win over West Ham on Friday evening.

The 25-year-old Romanian international will provide competition for Glenn Murray and Jurgen Locadia and he is excited about returning to first-team action.

Speaking to www.brightonandhovealbion.com, he said: “I’m very happy to be back after being injured for the last four months. I’m feeling good and am very positive. My injury is in the past now and I’m fit.

“It was the groin last season with Deportivo. I had problems when I started here and I had to stop for a month.

“After, when I came back, I had problems with my quad and was out for another five weeks. It was very hard for me because I was very excited to play and be in the squad.

“But I’m finally ready and if the coach decides on Monday - I’m ready to be in the squad and help the team.
