Arsenal and Chelsea further linked with Leandro Trossard transfer after superb Brighton display

Former Premier League striker Gabriel Agbonlahor has tipped Leandro Trossard to be a success at Chelsea or Arsenal.

The Belgian continued his fine form on Saturday as Brighton ensured that Graham Potter's return to the Amex Stadium was an unhappy one, with the Seagulls winning 4-1.

Trossard's strike gave the home side the lead as he netted his seventh goal in 12 Premier League appearances this season. It has been an impressive start to the campaign for the attacker, with the pick of the bunch coming in their 3-3 draw with Liverpool where he bagged an important treble.

Former Aston Villa man Agbonlahor hailed the 27-year-old for his role under both Potter and Roberto de Zerbi. The result for Brighton was the first win under their new Italian head coach.

"He’s improved so much. He’s adding goals as well, he’s a threat," he said speaking to talkSPORT. "The goal he scored today, composure, into the corner of the net and he could be one that starts regularly for Belgium.

"He’s going to attract a lot of clubs over Europe. Premier League clubs as well. I think he could do a job at Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs.

"So I think now he’s playing like he is, maybe January, if Brighton can get a bit of money for him, they might sell him in January."
