Chris Hughton has re-assured Albion fans over his in-demand wideman.

The Seagulls boss says he is more concerned about getting Solly March, pictured, fit and active again than contract or transfer talk.

March has been linked with interest from Premier League clubs Southampton and West Ham.

The Argus reported this week that the Hailsham youngster had turned down the offer of a new two-year contract and is still in negotiations over his future.

However Hughton told The Argus: “Solly is one who is at the club and it is about him getting fit and playing games.

“He is very happy at the club and our priority at the moment is to get him back and on the pitch.”

March is still in rehab after knee ligament damage and is not yet training with the rest of the squad but Albion hope he could be back in their matchday plans in September.
