Jamie Redknapp claims Brighton could be willing to sell Leandro Trossard

Arsenal wants to sign Leandro Trossard in January.

Sky Sports pundit, Jamie Redknapp, has said that Brighton could be willing to sell Arsenal target Leandro Trossard at the end of the season.

The former England midfielder admired the 27-year-old player. He said that he had every trick in the book.

Trossard has had an impressive first half of the season, scoring seven goals in 14 games. He also scored a hat trick in Premier League against a top side.

Speaking to Sky Sports Premier League, Redknapp described Trossard as one of his “favourite players,” and explained why Brighton might be willing to sell him in the upcoming transfer window.

“They aren’t afraid to sell players because they can find the next one to come in, a bit like Trossard,” said Redknapp.

“They know clubs are going to be coming in for him in January or at the end of the season, but they can live with it.

“He is one of my favourite players and he has been for a few years. He just sees the game so well. He has every trick in the book. He can pass. He presses really well. He has got lovely skill. You press him and he will walk past you.”

The Belgian star is currently with his national side in Qatar for the 2022 World Cup. If he performs high, it will help him to get a high pay rise in the transfer.

Arsenal wants to snap him up in January before wealthier clubs have the opportunity to lure him with high wages when he becomes a free agent in the summer.

The Gunners are on cloud nine after securing the top spot in Premier League with 5 points lead over 2nd-placed Man City. Meanwhile, Arteta also has to fight with Graham Potter. The former Brighton manager wants to make a reunion with his player at Stamford Bridge.

Trossard was one of Potter’s first signings at Brighton when he joined the club in June 2019, just one month after his then manager.
