Brighton are now aware that Tottenham Hotspur want to sign Leandro Trossard during the January transfer window, with the Daily Mail reporting that Spurs have accelerated their interest in the forward.

Trossard is facing an uncertain future with the Seagulls. His contract is currently set to expire in the summer. However, Transfermarkt notes that Brighton have the option to extend his terms by a further year.

The Daily Mail reported overnight that Spurs now want the 28-year-old. And it seems that Antonio Conte’s men are working on trying to land the Belgian in this window.

Brighton now aware Tottenham want to sign Trossard

According to the latest report from the Daily Mail, Brighton now know that Tottenham would like to sign Trossard. Meanwhile, Spurs have stepped up their interest in the forward in the last few days.

The report notes that nothing is imminent. However, it is possible that the former Genk man could be on the move before the end of the window.

It would be a real statement for Tottenham to sign Trossard. He is the top goalscorer for Roberto De Zerbi’s men in the Premier League this season, finding the back of the net seven times already.

He also scored the winner against Tottenham towards the end of last season. And he has bagged a hat-trick against Liverpool this term.

Trossard has the ability to play all over the forward line. So he would have the potential to be an incredibly astute signing for Spurs. Certainly, Conte tends to thrive working with players who should be at the peak of their powers.

FBRef lists Phil Foden as someone who is similar to Trossard. And he was lauded for being ‘unreal‘ earlier this season.

His arrival could make a big difference for Tottenham as they look to bounce back from an underwhelming spell.
