A forward for Brighton & Hove Albion named Leandro Trossard has said he would be open to working with former Chelsea manager Graham Potter again if he were promised significant playing time.
Trossard has been a standout for the Seahawks for the previous three seasons and is currently in the penultimate year of his current deal at Amex Stadium.
In 110 games across all competitions since joining for £15 million from KRC Genk in the summer of 2019, the 27-year-old has scored 20 goals and contributed 13 assists.

Trossard, a versatile inside forward with a right foot who has started each of his team’s six Premier League games this season, has two goals and two assists to his credit.
Het Niuewsblad reported that Trossard said he now feels at home in the Premier League. He also talked about a potential move to Stamford Bridge. He clarified:
“I feel fantastic. We got off to a great start with Brighton. I have advanced greatly. I finally understand how the Premier League operates. I’ve made great progress in that area. I’ve improved in confidence, mental acuity, and physical fitness.
“I’ve got the tricks down now. Although our coach has now left for Chelsea, it is absurd to think that I would have followed him. I’d want to go if the chance presents itself. I like to play rather than watch, though.
After 20 months in charge, The Blues fired Thomas Tuchel and recruited Graham Potter, the former manager of Brighton, as their new manager earlier this month.
Potter, who was the leading applicant for the job, agreed to a five-year deal with the west London club.
Chelsea is currently ranked fifth in the 2022–23 Premier League standings with ten points from six games. The Blues will play Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday, October 1.
