Newcastle United are set to target a move for Brighton's Leandro Trossard ahead of Leeds United's Jack Harrison in January, according to TeamTalk. The Magpies saw a bid rejected for Harrison during the summer with manager Eddie Howe said to be a big admirer of the former Manchester City man.
Trossard's contract at Brighton is set to expire at the end of the season, though the Seagulls are expected to trigger a 12 month extension to prevent him leaving on a free. Newcastle sporting director Dan Ashworth is extremely keen on bringing the Belgian to St. James' Park, though, after he himself brought him to Brighton in 2019.
Their pursuit of Trossard could see Newcastle cool interest in Leeds winger Harrison, whose contract is also a current topic. Harrison's deal at Elland Road is set to expire in 2024 and talks between his agent and Victor Orta are set to begin in the coming weeks to try reach an agreement.
