March happy at Brighton amid Hammers interest

Brighton & Hove Albion winger Solly March is happy at Brighton, despite interest from West Ham this summer.

Brighton boss Chris Hughton has revealed that March is happy at the club, even though he is attracting Premier League interest. West Ham and fellow Premier League side Southampton are both keen on the winger, with both sides possibly lining up bids.

Speaking to the Argus, Hughton said this about March:

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 has just two years left on his currently Brighton deal and recently rejected a new contract with the club. He was unhappy with the basic increase in pay, but Brighton are still confident that they can tie him down to a long-term contract this summer.

The 21-year-old winger missed most of last season with a serious knee injury, which is still set to rule him out until September this year. Although, the injury has not deterred West Ham, with Slaven Bilic keen to bring the talented winger in.

However, these comments from Hughton appear to rule out any potential move.
