Much was made of the Seagulls' failure to land a striker in the summer window but Glenn Murray and Tomer Hemed have both started the season well. Murray has three goals and Hemed two, despite a three-game ban.
Asked if a striker was the top January target, Hughton said: "It always changes. Something could happen between now and January that shifts it a little bit to a position that maybe we weren't trying to bring in.

"Our recruitment policy doesn't change right through the year. You don't have a break for a few months and start again, it continues.
"We'll assess it as we approach the window and decide what positions we'd like to bring in."
