Arsenal have agreed a deal with Brighton for winger Leandro Trossard, football.london has been told. After Mykhailo Mudryk snubbed the Gunners in favour of Chelsea, Mikel Arteta has now turned his attention elsewhere.
Mudryk flirted heavily with a switch to the Emirates Stadium but the Ukrainian ended up moving to Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea confirming the deal at the weekend. So, Arsenal are now looking at alternatives to the new Chelsea signing and Brighton's Trossard has been identified as the main target.
The Gunners opened talks with the Seagulls on Thursday over a move for Trossard in the January transfer window, football.london understands, and a fee has now been agreed. This could, indirectly at least, have an impact on what Chelsea are planning to do between now and the end of the month.
