Hinshelwood switch key to Seagulls' surge - so how good could be become?

Brighton had one league win in 13 games when Hurzeler sprung a surprise by starting Hinshelwood behind Danny Welbeck for Albion's trip to Brentford - and it ended that abysmal run of form.

It has since given way to six wins and one draw from nine games.

While Hinshelwood's individual statistics of two goals and two assists over those nine matches are unlikely to have Bellingham, Palmer or Rogers quaking in their boots, he is just one of those players you have to watch live to appreciate how good he is.

His footballing intelligence is astonishing for a 21-year-old. It is why he can seamlessly switch from playing as a full-back to a number 10, something England already know about after he starred at right-back and left-back when the Under-21s retained their Euros title last summer.

Hinshelwood links play brilliantly and gets into some excellent positions, but the one thing that currently lets him down is his finishing.

However, there are already signs he is working on that because his recent goals against Chelsea and Newcastle were taken with aplomb.

If he becomes more clinical, he could easily hit double figures and beyond for Brighton next season. At which point, his England claims would become impossible to ignore.
