Some could say it was "Showboating" ... but why not? He's at a new club and out to impress, and he did just that!

Chris Hughton: “I think he is at the right age now.

“We hope he will be here for a good while. We have brought him in here at a very good time for him in his life. He has had good experiences and if he has had bad ones, he will have learnt from them too.

“He has been to some big clubs and performed at some big clubs and I just hope we have got him at a very good time.

“He is a player who has developed with age.

“He has had some challenges, a couple of loan moves that perhaps did not go so well, he did not get the football he wanted.

“But he is a good age now and a player of experience and I see a better all-round player now.

“He’s a versatile player. Although predominantly a right sided player and at times an old-fashioned right winger, he can play infield, he can play on the left, he can play off the front so I think he will give us a variety in his game.

“But, generally, he is an all-round player now whereas perhaps, when he was young, he was seen as an out and out right winger.

“I think he is a player who can come inside, as we saw with the goals he provided the other night.

“He is able to drift into other areas and affect the game from there as well.

“With Wayne, he is a lad that has played a lot of football already this season and he put in a lot of good performances at QPR, so he is one we didn’t expect to take too long to settle.”
