‘Sell him in January’ – Pundit claims Brighton star could do at job at Spurs

Gabby Agbonlahor has predicted that Brighton could cash in on Leandro Trossard in January and added that the winger would fit in well at a club like Tottenham.

Trossard’s reputation has blossomed since he departed Genk to join Brighton back in 2019, with the winger seemingly improving with each season in the Premier League.

The Belgian has added more end product to his game this campaign, having scored seven goals and provided two assists in 12 league games so far (Transfermarkt).

However, Trossard’s future is up in the air, with his current contract at the Amex Stadium running out at the end of the season.

The winger has been linked with a move to Tottenham in the past, with the 27-year-old’s agent Josy Comhair admitting back in 2018 that he had spoken to the Lilywhites about his client (The Sun).

Agbonlahor has said that Brighton could cash in on Trossard when the transfer window reopens, and remarked that he would do well at a club like Spurs. 

The former Aston Villa striker told talkSPORT about the Seagulls star: “He’s improved so much and he’s adding goals as well. He could be one that starts regularly for his country, Belgium.

“He’s going to attract a lot of clubs over Europe, Premier League clubs will look at him as well. I think he could do a job at Arsenal, Chelsea, and Spurs.

“Playing like he is, maybe January. If Brighton can get a bit of money for him, they might look to sell him in January.”

According to Transfermarkt, Brighton have the option to extend Trossard’s contract by one year. So, they might not be in a hurry to cash in on him in January. 

However, one would expect them to sell the winger next summer if he does not sign a new deal, and a whole host of Premier League clubs will likely show interest in the 27-year-old, possibly including Spurs.
