Brighton and Hove Albion’s asking price for Leandro Trossard has reportedly been revealed amid reports linking him with Arsenal and Tottenham.
The midfielder was in fine form for the Seagulls at the start of this season as they enjoyed a great start to the campaign under Graham Potter.
Trossard is still the club’s leading scorer this term as he has grabbed seven goals and two assists in 16 Premier League outings.
The 28-year-old finds himself in a difficult situation at Brighton though as he has butted heads with new boss Roberto De Zerbi.

“It is therefore important that Brighton cooperates with a transfer during this transfer period and shows a benevolent attitude, which is beneficial to both parties.”
On Monday, it was reported that Tottenham have had a £12m offer rejected for Trossard and talkSPORT are now claiming that the Londoners are going ‘head-to-head with Arsenal’ in battling for the midfielder.
The report adds that Brighton will ‘not be bullied into a sale’ and they will hold out for a fee of at least £25m.
A separate report from 90min confirms that ‘Brighton will not be bullied into an enforced sale’.
They add that ‘an exit will only be granted if their demands are met by an asking team’.
