Brighton midfielder Leandro Trossard has refused to rule out the possibility of joining Chelsea but insists he has not been approached by Graham Potter’s side.

The 27-year-old has been one of Brighton’s standout performers this season with seven goals and two assists in the Premier League so far.

Trossard’s performances have also earned him a place in Belgium’s squad for their World Cup campaign in Qatar, which begins later this month.

The midfielder has been strongly linked with a move to Chelsea where he would be reunited with Potter, who he played under at Brighton.

But when asked about Chelsea’s interest, Trossard told Het Laatste Nieuws: ‘Chelsea have in any case not yet reported. Not with Brighton and not with me.

‘I have to wait and see. I want to finish strong at Brighton and leave for Qatar with that good feeling.’

Speaking about Potter’s departure to Chelsea in September, Trossard said: ‘That was very strange, because I’ve always played under Potter at Brighton and have got better year after year.

‘You go through the full preparation and suddenly a new coach is there in September.
