Bobby Zamora has given Albion a massive boost by declaring a desire to stay.

Ipswich head a long list of clubs who have been linked with the 28-goal hitman.

Boss Micky Adams told the Argus last week he does not want to sell Zamora at any price and the 20-year-old star of the Seagulls' promotion campaign is in no rush to leave.

"I am definitely happy here," he said. "We've had a wonderful season and all the lads have enjoyed it, so I see no reason why anyone would want to leave.

"It's nice to hear the gaffer say things like that because it means he values me.

"It is totally up to him and the chairman if they think there is an offer that is right. At the moment I am happy playing my football here and that's that."

Zamora was yesterday presented with the Nationwide Player of the Month award for March at Tolopino's Restaurant in Hove.

He was the overwhelming choice of Sky television viewers but believes a lot of the credit should also go to his team-mates.

Zamora demonstrated his appreciation of their efforts by donating £500 to the charity of his choice to the Camelia Botnar School for Children with Special Needs in Goring, which is supported by Albion midfield Charlie Oatway.

"I am really proud," Zamora said. "All the fans around the country have voted for me, so that's nice.

"I've had my ups and downs personally, but the team have been magnificent.

"They are delivering such great balls at times that it would be difficult not to finish them, so I owe a lot to them.

"We only need one more point to clinch the title, but we want to beat Chesterfield without their points deduction counting, so everyone will be giving 110 per cent over the next four games."

Plans to present champions-elect Albion with the Third Division trophy at the home game against Chesterfield next Tuesday could be scuppered by the on-going saga of the Spireites.

It is customary for the silverware to be presented at the last home match of the title winners, but League bosses are mindful of the sensitivity of the situation.

An independent tribunal which recommended a nine-point deduction for Chesterfield for financial irregularties has been asked to review its verdict, as the punishment is not considered severe enough.

The uncertaintity could be resolved if Albion beat both Macclesfield at Withdean on Saturday and Chesterfield next Tuesday and the Spireites fail to win at Hull on Saturday.

The Seagulls would then be certain to finish above them, irrespective of any points punishment.

Alternatively Albion may be presented with the trophy during their Open Top bus tour of the city on May 6.
