Brighton forward Georginio Rutter spoke to BBC Radio Sussex after making his full debut against Ipswich:

"It was important for my confidence to start, I enjoyed it. We are disappointed with the game, but we are still unbeaten and we have to take the positives. I enjoyed playing more [in front of the home crowd].

On settling into the club: "I know people speak about the price, but I just try to forget about the price and enjoy my football.

"The manager, all of the staff and all of the players know there is a bit of adaptation. It was a warm welcome when I came.

"Carlos Baleba [is helping him settle in], is a very good player, I speak with him and Simon [Adingra] as well, we speak French. I'm trying to improve my English and I speak with everyone."

On the step up to the Premier League: "When I was with Leeds, the Premier League was different. I didn't play a lot and it maybe wasn't a good moment for me. Now it's different. We have a good team and good atmosphere."
