Leandro Trossard is closing in on a move to Arsenal from fellow Premier League side Brighton & Hove Albion.
Trossard has enjoyed a hugely productive season with the Seagulls, netting seven league goals and providing a further three assists. The 28-year-old is now into the final six months of his contract at the Amex Stadium and a recent falling out with manager Roberto De Zerbi has resulted in reported interest from the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.
The Gunners appears to be leading the race to sign the Belgian and now football.london takes a look at all the latest on a potential transfer.
