Arsenal interested in Brighton forward Leandro Trossard, after Belgium international told club he wants to leave in January following breakdown in relationship with head coach Roberto De Zerbi; 28-year-old has six months left on existing deal.

Tottenham have already had an offer rejected for Trossard, and are instead pursuing Roma's Nicolo Zaniolo.Trossard has entered the final six months of his contract at Brighton, but the Seagulls have the option of extending his existing deal by a further year.

Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi first confirmed Trossard would not be in the Albion squad for the visit of Liverpool last week after exhibiting a poor attitude in training.
