Tottenham Hotspur are now reportedly eyeing a move for Leandro Trossard – who Jamie Redknapp labelled as one of his favourite players.

Antonio Conte will be desperate to bring in some fresh faces this month after a difficult run of form over the past 10 games.

Spurs have seemingly turned a corner with positive results against Crystal Palace and Portsmouth, but they will need reinforcements if they are to secure their place in the Champions League once again. 

Injuries to Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison have highlighted the need for another forward player at Spurs, despite Bryan Gil’s positive displays last week.

The Daily Mail reported on Monday morning that Tottenham are interested in signing Trossard, with his contract at Brighton set to expire at the end of the season. 

Conte’s men are said to be admirers of the Belgian and he would be open to moving to north London.

The 28-year-old has been exceptional for the Seagulls this season, scoring seven goals and registering three assists in the Premier League.

And the Belgian has received high praise from former Tottenham man, Jamie Redknapp, after his displays from the left-hand side.

Redknapp on Trossard

“They [Brighton] aren’t afraid to sell players because they can find the next one to come in, a bit like Trossard,” Redknapp told Sky Sports back in November. 

“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.” as quoted by HITC.

Spurs certainly need another attacking player as Conte has been left short in recent weeks.

Heung-Min Son has been struggling with confidence, while Richarlison’s start to his Tottenham career has been hampered by injuries.

Trossard would be a brilliant addition to the side but Brighton reportedly have an option to extend his deal by a year, which could up his price-tag significantly.
