Brighton's record signing Luka Vuskovic has spoken of his delight after making his home debut at the Amex in a pre-season friendly against Roma, according to BBC News.

The young centre-back started the match and played the entire first half before being withdrawn for skipper Lewis Dunk after the break, as Brighton kept a clean sheet during his time on the pitch.

Vuskovic described the occasion as "very nice," reflecting on the experience of pulling on the club's shirt in front of the home crowd for the first time. As the club's most expensive acquisition, expectations naturally surround the defender, but this early outing appears to have been a promising step in his integration at the Amex.

With pre-season continuing, Brighton will be keen to build on the defensive solidity shown in Vuskovic's cameo as they fine-tune their squad ahead of the new campaign.
