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 €15m in 2019. He has scored 25 goals and assisted 13 in 116 Premier League appearances for Brighton.
