Leandro Trossard won't be sorely missed at Brighton when he moves to Arsenal - at least not according to manager Roberto De Zerbi and midfielder Adam Lallana.
The Belgian forward, 28, had been the Seagulls' star player but is now undergoing a medical at the Emirates after the clubs struck a rapid £27million deal on Thursday. When Arsenal missed out of the signing of Ukrainian wonderkid Mykhaylo Mudryk to London rivals Chelsea, Gunners manager Mikel Arteta identified Trossard as a viable alternative and is set to hand him a five-year contract.
Following a fallout with De Zerbi earlier this month, the Belgium international was made available for transfer and the Seagulls are content in offloading him, having recently entered the final 18 months of his current deal on the south coast. In addition, Brighton don't appear to be heartbroken about his departure - far from it in fact.
