Arsenal in advanced talks to sign Leandro Trossard from Brighton
League leaders missed out on Mudryk to Chelsea
West Ham reach agreement to sign Villa¡¦s Danny Ings
Arsenal are in advanced talks to sign Leandro Trossard from Brighton and hope to seal a deal quickly for the forward. Terms have been agreed on a long-term contact with the 28-year-old, who wants a transfer.
Arsenal missed out to Chelsea in pursuit of the winger Mykhaylo Mudryk but have made swift progress in discussions over Trossard. The Belgium international made clear via his agent, Josy Comhair, last Friday that he had resolved to leave Brighton after a fallout with Roberto De Zerbi.
Brighton¡¦s manager dropped Trossard last week after criticising the player¡¦s attitude in training, prompting Comhair to dispute De Zerbi¡¦s version of events, accuse him of humiliating his client and say ¡§a transfer is the most convenient solution¡¨.
Trossard, who plays predominantly as a left-winger, joined Brighton from Genk for about £á15m in 2019. He has scored 25 goals in 116 Premier League appearances for Brighton.
