Trossard

Arsenal are in talks to sign Brighton winger Leandro Trossard after missing out on Mykhailo Mudryk, sources have told ESPN.

We are Brighton and we need players who work like the other players." However, his success at the club has soured since De Zerbi replaced Graham Potter in September. "Leandro knows very well my opinion.

Fabrizio Romano reports Brighton's Belgium winger has agreed to personal terms with Arsenal and the two teams are expected to close a deal soon.

“A [manager] who has not communicated directly with his player for four weeks is truly incomprehensible," Comhair said. Leandro still was a first-eleven player against Southampton and Arsenal but against Everton he was on the bench. In recent weeks, Trossard's exit from the Seagulls has looked increasingly likely after public sniping between the player's agent and manager Roberto De Zerzi.

Trossard is Arsenal's Plan B after missing out on Mykhailo Mudryk, though there are other suitors for his signature.

[Tottenham Hotspur](https://theathletic.com/football/team/tottenham-hotspur/) were one of two Premier League clubs — one team based abroad also made an enquiry — investigating the possibility of signing the Belgian prior to Arsenal declaring their interest. There was a start in the group finale against [Croatia](https://theathletic.com/football/team/croatia/), but he made little impact and was withdrawn after 59 minutes as a 0-0 draw sent Belgium’s ageing side crashing out of the tournament early. They will argue he represents proven Premier League pedigree, with 116 league appearances and 38 goal involvements (25 goals, 13 assists) since his £13million arrival from Genk in the summer of 2019.

Now in his fourth season at Brighton, Trossard has spent roughly equal amounts of time playing up front, as a central attacking midfielder and stationed out on the left flank. Having seen the 22-year-old wind up at [Chelsea](https://theathletic.com/football/team/chelsea/), they have reacted quickly — and pragmatically — to identify Trossard as plan B. The player’s agent, Josy Comhair, duly released a statement insisting he had left that session because of the injury and that De Zerbi had not spoken to him since his client had a minor ‘altercation’ with an unnamed team-mate some weeks previously. Brighton have a one-year option on Trossard’s contract, which expires in the summer, but had been rejecting their attempts to tie him to a new deal. So far in 2022-23, Arsenal have shown on the pitch that they have learnt from the end of last season. Although the club acknowledge the difficulty of the January market, their efforts to strengthen the squad are expected to continue. Arsenal are fighting for a title, and their key decision-makers are united in the belief that reinforcements are needed. He is already a known quantity in the

One thing is for sure, none will be sold on the cheap. They also have back-up in Kaoru Mitoma, Jeremy Sarmiento, Julio Enciso and Facundo Buonanotte. Trossard may get his chance to compete for a place at a title contender but the overwhelming feeling is that the Seagulls have once again done some amazing business in the midst of a tricky situation.
