Record signing Luka Vuskovic is setting a high bar in the Premier League for Brighton & Hove Albion’s 10 other summer transfer window signings to pursue.Vuskovic, who arrived from Tottenham Hotspur for an initial £46million with add-ons potentially taking the deal to £50m, has played every minute of the first three league matches. In addition to that, the 19-year-old Croatian centre-back headed the equaliser from Maxim De Cuyper’s corner in the second half of Saturday’s 1-1 draw against Leeds United at the Amex Stadium. This was his seventh goal since the start of last season, which he spent on loan at Hamburg. That is more goals over the period than any other centre-back across Europe’s big five leagues.“He has the physicality to adapt quickly to the Premier League, but we shouldn’t underestimate that he is really young,” Fabian Hurzeler told The Athletic after the match. “For his age, he plays very maturely. He definitely adapts quickly. He still has moments — similar to the whole team performance — where he switches off a little bit, where he is not 100 per cent into the game, moments where he also has a little lack of experience, but (improvement) will come over time.”Vuskovic’s early pairing with 34-year-old skipper Lewis Dunk — who has also played every minute in the league this season — looks like being a dominant partnership for Hurzeler. Dutchman Pascal Struijk came off the bench in the 93rd minute of 94 against Leeds, his former club, after picking up an injury during pre-season. Elsewhere, Austrian international Michael Svoboda, who arrived from Italian side Venezia in the other part of the summer refit in central defence, has just resumed training following a minor knee issue.Struijk and Svoboda are not the only newcomers who will probably get more minutes in the Conference League than in the Premier League. Take, for instance, deadline-day buy Femi Azeez, who missed out against Leeds due to a slight injury sustained with former club Millwall. The winger and Nigerian international will face stiff competition once Kaoru Mitoma and Yankuba Minteh return from their respective hamstring and ankle injuries. It is a similar story for Canadian No 9 Promise David, who has played a total of 22 minutes as a second-half substitute in the 4-3 defeat at Chelsea and against Leeds.Promise David has been a late substitute in Brighton’s last two matches (Mike Hewitt/Getty Images)Charalampos Kostoulas is raw and a work in progress. The Greek prospect continued as the centre-forward on Saturday, with ex-Leeds striker Georginio Rutter sidelined for the third match running. The Frenchman expects to be back in action soon. Rutter has always looked more effective as a No 10 than as a No 9 during his Brighton career.Yet, as things stand, he is Hurzeler’s best No 9 option, with Stefanos Tzimas (knee) and Evan Ferguson (ankle) working their way back from long-term injuries. It is tough for Hurzeler to be without his usual front four, including No 10 Jack Hinshelwood (thigh). Mitoma, Minteh and Hinshelwood will not be back until October — after the first international break.
