Evan Ferguson needs to improve the level of his current performances according to Brighton & Hove Albion manager Roberto De Zerbi.

The 19-year-old has scored six Premier League goals so far this season, including a sensational hat-trick against Newcastle United, but he is currently enduring a run of six games without a goal while he has also failed to find the net in any of Brighton's Europa League matches.
