Chelsea are set to face competition in their pursuit to sign Brighton & Hove Albion winger Leandro Trossard after reports have claimed Newcastle United are keen on the Belgian.
Trossard has been in red-hot form the Seagulls this season, with seven Premier League goals in 12 appearances and continued his impressive start to the campaign in Graham Potter's return to the Amex Stadium over the weekend as they ran out 4-1 winners.
The Belgium international's strike gave the Seagulls the lead in the fifth minute as Roberto De Zerbi's men netted three first half goals to condemn Chelsea to their first loss under Potter in 10 games. Trossard's most impressive outing of the season came in October when he scored a hat-trick at Anfield against Liverpool.
