Albion's Daniel Marney has revealed he would be happy to sign permanent terms at Southend when his latest loan spell comes to an end.
The rookie winger has had another month added to his stay at Roots Hall after impressing since his arrival in December.
And the 22-year-old is enjoying himself so much he would consider dropping down the league to keep playing for the Shrimpers.
"If something did happen at Brighton that would be great, but if something happened here too then that would also be great," Marney told the club's official website.
"I just want to play football, but if I didn't get back in at Brighton I'd definitely be interested in coming here."
