Brighton bid for Murray unacceptable to Dale

Rochdale AFC

Brighton assistant manager Dean White has confirmed Albion's interest in Rochdale striker Glenn Murray.

"He is one of several players we've looked at," White said. "That is as far as it has gone."

However, Rochdale manager Keith Hill has cast doubt over Albion's prospects of landing Murray after they made a verbal enquiry about the asking price.

Hill said: "Selling him to Brighton is not a consideration for me. They were a long way away from what we deem him to be worth.

"Glenn wants to score goals for Rochdale and help us achieve our aims. He is from Carlisle and this weekend he will be up there visiting family.

"Brighton is a million miles away from Glenn's home. Every player has his price and Glenn has his own ambitions and we have spoken about that this week but he'll be available for Wednesday, (Chesterfield away) no question in my mind."
