De Zerbi takes his Seagulls to Anfield today having been widely touted as a managerial candidate for Liverpool, given the pending departure of Jurgen Klopp.

De Zerbi (right) insisted that he would have to talk to Brighton owner Tony Bloom and be sure that the south-coast club's ambition matches his before deciding his next move.
