Adam Lallana is adamant Brighton will cope without Leandro Trossard as he closes in on a move to Arsenal.
The Belgian is set to be unveiled as a Gunners player on a Friday after agreeing a £27million deal with the Seagulls. It is understood Brighton will initially receive £21m for Trossard, with the rest of the fee to be paid in add-ons.
Trossard’s demise at the Amex Stadium has been a swift one, having been yet another success story of their shrewd recruitment plan. The 28-year-old has seven Premier League goals this season and has played a key role in Brighton’s excellent first half of the season.
