​Murray confident in fully equipped Brighton attack

Brighton star Glenn Murray believes the team now have the attacking tools at their disposal to light up the Premier League.

While the side only finished 15th last season, narrowly avoiding relegation, Murray believes there is a lot more to come from the team.

Brighton recently signed the likes of Alireza Jahanbakhsh from AZ Alkmaar and Florin Andone from Deportivo.

Murray told The Argus: "The key is we know what we are expecting. The majority of our players hadn't played in the Premier League and had only watched it on TV.

"You don't know what to expect and you expect teams to maybe be better than they are.

"We've had a taste of it now, we know what we are in for. In the first four or five games last year we were a little bit rabbit in the headlights, just getting used to the surroundings and the situation.

"We were maybe a little bit naive at times. We learnt the tricks of the trade, so to speak, and what Premier league teams do to slow the game down, as the season wore on.

"The media grows significantly as well when you step up from the Championship. This year we are prepared for all of that and ready to go from the off.

"We know what we are going into with our eyes open."
