Leandro Trossard will be purchased by Arsenal from Brighton and Hove Albion for £27 million

The south-coast club had requested £30m, with 10% of any money going to Genk, but they ultimately settled for little less. After missing out on Mikhailo Mudryk, Arsenal is actively hunting for attacking additions to strengthen their title campaign, and Brighton is eager to sell because manager Roberto De Zerbi no longer wants to utilise the forward.

Trossard’s current contract expires in the summer, though there is a provision for an extension, which explains why his asking price is rather cheap for a player who just turned 28 and has established Premier League experience. However, Brighton did not want to dispose of him too quickly.

While a number of clubs were interested in signing him, his representatives have been pressing for a deal the whole transfer window, and Arsenal was by far the best choice. Trossard is understandably enthusiastic about the transfer and is pushing for it; this is made easier by the positive relationship between the two clubs.

Arsenal supporters will be hoping that the 28-year-old, who can play in a variety of attacking positions and is a clinical finisher, can adjust swiftly and help the team remain competitive in this season’s Premier League title fight.

The departures of Yves Bissouma and Marc Cucurella throughout the summer, together with recent raids by Arsenal for Ben White, will no doubt leave Brighton fans dissatisfied as they lose another one of their greatest players.
