Arsenal have reportedly agreed personal terms with Brighton star Leandro Trossard, as the Belgian edges closer to an exit from the Seagulls.
Trossard, 28, has starred for Brighton this season, scoring seven goals as they emerged as contenders for the European qualification places. But since the World Cup, his relationship with boss Roberto De Zerbi has broken down, with the Italian banishing him from training.
The tensions between De Zerbi and Trossard publicly exploded last week when the Belgian's agent released a statement which furiously hit out at the Brighton boss. Josy Comhair accused De Zerbi of "humiliating" his client and demanded that Brighton work to secure him a move in the January transfer window.
