Brighton & Hove Albion striker Leonardo Ulloa has said that he is happy to be working under new head coach Oscar Garcia.

The Seagulls named the former Barcelona player as Gus Poyet's replacement last month.

Ulloa, who moved to the Championship club in January, has said that Garcia has had a positive impact.

"I'm very happy to have Oscar here and the way that everything is working," Ulloa told the club's official website.

"I didn't know him before but I have heard some good things about him from some other players that I've played with. People have been speaking very well about him."

Garcia's first competitive game in charge is against Leeds United on August 3.
