Brighton’s Leandro Trossard is currently at the centre of one of the biggest transfers stories of the January window.

The Belgium winger wants to leave the club this month, following a turbulent return to the south coast since the World Cup.

Albion boss Roberto De Zerbi dropped the 28-year-old from his last two matchday squads against Liverpool and Middlesbrough, stating he had not liked the player’s attitude and behaviour since returning from Qatar.

Trossard’s agent released a statement last Friday, announcing that a transfer away from the Amex Stadium would be the best solution for the midfielder.

The Brighton player trained alone last week and was also involved in an altercation with a team-mate at the club’s training facility, his agent said.

Trossard left the country to return to his native Belgium after he realised he would not be playing against Liverpool. It is not known yet whether he has returned to the UK.

The winger, who has scored 25 goals in 122 appearances for the club, is out of contract in the summer but Brighton have the option to extend it for a further year.
