Glenn Murray is looking forward to the challenge of trying to stay in the Premier League next season but thinks it is '˜definitely achievable' for the Seagulls.

Murray led the way on the scoring front this season for Albion – as he did when the club won League One in 2010/11.

Having played in the top flight for Crystal Palace and Bournemouth, he now gets another crack at the Premier League next year and said: “Obviously the task next year is even more difficult than it has been this year.

“It’s definitely achievable to stay in the Premier League. I think a club like us should be staying in the Premier League. We’ll be working very hard to try and maintain that status.”

Murray has scored 11 goals in 52 appearances in the Premier League and on the differences between the top flight and the Championship said: “The game is very different in the Premier League; it’s very slow and then it spurts into life and you think ‘what’s just happened?’. It’s one of those moments where you think you’ll have to watch that on Match of the Day later.

“You’re obviously up against much, much better players, both skill-wise and physical. I think we can only give a certain amount of chances away, because teams are obviously more clinical in the Premier League.

“You can give three or four away in the Championship and sometimes get away with it, depending on who you’re playing. But if you give three or four away in the Premier League, you’re two or three nil down.”
