Glenn Murray believes that there is still room for target men to play in Premier League attacks.
Ahead of facing Arsenal on Sunday, the Brighton & Hove Albion forward is looking to add to his career-high 10 PL goals this season.
In an exclusive interview with Sky Sports' Adam Bate, the 34-year-old feels that big, physical attackers such as himself and Chelsea’s Olivier Giroud, formerly of Arsenal, can have a role to play alongside pacy, smaller strikers.
"There will always be a demand for that type of player," believes Murray. "There was a time where the target man went out of fashion and it was all about the small and quick striker.
“But there is always room for a big man in football as long as you play fast players off him and Giroud is the example that I always use.
"He is not the quickest player himself but if you throw the ball up to him, he holds it up and he wins his headers.
“When you have all of those quick players around him like there was at Arsenal, it worked well for him."
