Roberto De Zerbi’s Leandro Trossard admission Newcastle boss Eddie Howe will love

Newcastle United are continuing to monitor Leandro Trossard as they weigh up a move for the in-form Brighton star. The Belgian international has enjoyed a fine start to the season with the Seagulls, and has subsequently been linked with a move away.

Trossard's contract at the Amex is due to expire this summer, although the club hold an option to extend this deal by a further year. Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, and Chelsea have all been linked, while Newcastle have been credited with an interest.

Trossard has already netted seven times in the Premier League so far this season, but Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi insists there is still more to come from the 27-year-old. Speaking earlier this month, Graham Potter's successor outlined his 'incredible confidence' in the forward and his belief that he has still not reached his peak.
