Leandro Trossard would be keen on reuniting with Graham Potter at Chelsea but said speculation on his Brighton and Hove Albion future “makes no sense” at this moment.
Belgium international Trossard has shone during Brighton’s fine start to the Premier League season, scoring twice in six appearances, but the Seagulls are now set for new guidance.
Head coach Potter’s departure for Chelsea will provide a challenge for Brighton, who appointed Roberto De Zerbi as his successor, and the new Stamford Bridge chief could raid his former club in future transfer windows.
Speculation has suggested Trossard is a player Potter would be keen to bring in, and the 27-year-old winger has opened the door for a move, though he made it clear it is pointless to discuss until any offer is made.
“I feel very good, we had a super start with Brighton,” Trossard told Belgian newspaper Het Nieuwsblad.
“I have evolved tremendously. I now know how the Premier League works. I’ve grown tremendously in that. Confidence, mentally, physically, I have become better. I have mastered the tricks now.
“Our coach did leave for Chelsea now but speculation about me following makes no sense. If the opportunity arises, I want to go. But I want to play and not sit on the bench.”
