Graham Potter would like to bring Leandro Trossard to Chelsea after 90 minutes of information – but Newcastle United have also kept an eye on the winger.
Trossard owns at Brighton
Graham Potter, who looked after Trossard during his time at the Amex Stadium, would like to bring the versatile winger to Stamford Bridge after 90 minutes of information. But Brighton’s former sporting director Dan Ashworth, who is now in charge at Newcastle, is also following the Belgian’s situation with interest.
Trossard is having an outstanding season for the Seagulls, already adding five goals and two assists, up from eight goals and three assists last season. He also has a good chance of taking part in the World Cup with Belgium this winter.
Aware of the development Trossard has undergone since arriving on the south coast, Brighton are keen to tie him down with a lucrative deal.
90min learned that with the offer from Brighton, Trossard would be the club’s highest-paid player, ahead of Lewis Dunk, Danny Welbeck and Adam Lallana.
What you should note about this personnel: At the end of September, Trossard had already revealed that he would like to follow Graham Potter to Chelsea: “If the opportunity arises, I would like to change. But I want to play and not just sit on the bench.”
