Yahoo Sport – BRIGHTON, The Iranian winger is tipped to thrive under Potter’s reign.

Hopes were high for Jahanbakhsh last season following his 22-goal exploits for AZ Alkmaar the previous year, but the Iranian winger struggled to live up to his club-record price tag at Brighton.

Yet with new boss Graham Potter promising to bring a more attack-minded style to this corner of the south coast, Jahanbakhsh could recapture the form that persuaded Albion to pay £17m for his services last summer.  It shouldn’t be too hard to improve on last term’s tally of zero goals and zero assists.
