Chelsea tasked with dream £13m transfer swoop for Premier League star 'better than Eden Hazard'

Todd Boehly has been encouraged to sign Brighton star Leandro Trossard as Graham Potter looks to implement his philosophy at Chelsea. The 27-year-old winger has been heavily linked with a move to the Blues since his former boss swapped the Amex Stadium for Stamford Bridge.

He, who has a contract at Brighton until 2023, has featured 11 times for the Seagulls in the Premier League this season, directly contributing towards eight goals. Trossard's performances have helped Brighton climb into ninth position as Roberto De Zerbi's side look to secure European football this term.

A handful of impressive displays - namely a hat-trick against Liverpool at Anfield - have seen the Belgium international tipped to replace former Chelsea talisman Eden Hazard in the Red Devils' side at the Qatar World. And, according to former Manchester United defender Paul Parker, the Blues shouldn't waste any time in signing Trossard.
