Bournemouth’s Glenn Murray is in talks with Brighton about a return to the Seagulls, Sky sources understand.

It is understood Murray will complete a season-long loan switch to Brighton in the next 24 hours. 

The 32-year-old had a prolific three-and-a-half-year spell with Brighton after joining the club from Rochdale in January 2008.

Murray scored 54 goals in 118 league appearances for the club before joining rivals Crystal Palace on a free transfer in 2011.

He established himself as a first-team regular in his first two seasons at Palace and scored 30 Championship goals in the 2012/13 season to help the Eagles get promoted to the Premier League.

But a serious knee injury saw him sidelined till February 2014 and six months later the striker moved on loan to Reading.
