Murphy, 25 was inspirational last season and will prove to be a key asset next season as they once aagin set a promotion target. However (unconfirmed) reports suggest that the Seagulls have made a £1million bid but newly appointed Adkins sees Murphy as a driving force next season.
Adkins said of the possible move; “There has been speculation about one of our players. First and foremost we will have a look at the squad we have got. I know conversations have gone on. From our point of view, Jamie did ever so well last season. You look at the stats and the amount of goals he created. He’s not a player we are looking to move on at this moment in time.”
