Danny Welbeck, a former Arsenal striker, will put contract discussions on hold as he strives for a strong end to the season.
The Albion striker scored and was involved in an own goal as his team drew 2-2 with Southampton at the Amex.
The striker is out of contract at the end of the season, but the Seagulls would want to keep him and have their young players benefit from his experience.
Welbeck scored in the second minute after leading a play from far within his own half that ended with Saints defender Mohammed Salisu putting the ball into his own net.
However, a James Ward-Prowse double gave the Southampton a point.
Speaking after the 2-2 draw at the Amex the striker said:
“I am feeling good, feeling fit and strong.
“Getting the minutes and being back in the team, in the starting line-up, and getting a run of games together is important for me.
“I’m looking to finish the season strong and see what happens.
“I had a really tough injury, which was difficult to come back from.
“I’ve kept my head down and worked hard and I’m feeling really good.”
He then added that his contract situation is in the hands of his representatives and that will be sorted at the end of the season.
“I speak to my representatives and I am sure there will be a lot of conversations.
“But, for me. I don’t get involved in that.
“I just really focus on being the best I can be on the pitch and getting fitter and stronger.”
