Chelsea's transfer interest in Brighton and Belgium forward Leandro Trossard comes as no surprise. Todd Boehly has successfully poached talent from their Premier League rivals since his takeover at the club with a record £22million paid to replace Thomas Tuchel with Graham Potter.
Defender Marc Cucurella joined the Blues in the summer prior to Potter's arrival for a fee in excess of £60m. The Seagulls have become renowned for buying unknown talent for a low fee and developing them into multi-million pound assets.
One player who summarises Brighton's transfer strategy perfectly is attacker Trossard. The Belgian was signed for only £15million in 2019 from Genk in Potter's first season and has developed over time. Since his move to the Premier League, Trossard has slowly progressed as one of the league's most under-rated stars after impressing under Potter.
