Brighton & Hove Albion boss Gus Poyet has heaped praise upon on-loan Manchester City midfielder Abdul Razak.
The 19-year-old joined Brighton a week ago on a deal that will keep him at the AMEX Stadium until the end of the season.
On his home debut, Razak starred as the Seagulls overcame Ipswich Town 3-0 and Poyet expects the Ivorian to play a key role in the club's promotion push.
"Razak has steel and is totally different to what we've got," said the Uruguayan.
"He picks out everyone on the pitch with his passing, even from 40 yards and that is quality.
"No one knocked him off the ball, either. He's solid, massive and it's nice when you have a player who is doing something unique.
"We will try and keep him until the end of the season, and hopefully use him all the time."
Brighton are unbeaten in their last nine league matches.
