Arsenal have been tipped to rival Chelsea in the January transfer window for Leandro Trossard.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that Arsenal have been backed to rival Chelsea for the signing of Leandro Trossard as the race for the Belgian international hots up.

Trossard has impressed since his arrival at the Amex Stadium in 2019. He is capable of playing across the frontline while he has also performed strongly as an ultra-attacking left-wing-back.

He is currently enjoying his most successful season at the Seagulls, scoring six goals and contributing a further two assists in his 11 appearances this season, with a hat trick against Liverpool at Anfield a standout moment.

The player has entered the final 12 months of his contract on the South Coast although Brighton do hold the option to extend his contract by an extra year.

The club are believed to be in talks to try and lengthen his contract even further, but there is an expectation that the Seagulls will be open to selling him if they cannot come to an agreement, or else they could lose him for nothing in 12 months time.

Given his history with Potter, Chelsea have been heavily linked with a move for his signature however ex-Arsenal forward Campbell has argued he would be a good fit for his former side.

Mikel Arteta is believed to be interested in adding to his wide options with Shakhar Donetsk winger Myhaylo Mudryk among those to be heavily linked in recent months.

“I think Trossard would be a good signing,” Campbell told Football Insider. “I think he would thrive at Arsenal.

He would be a squad player, one you could rotate in and out of the team and there would be no drop-off. I think he is a really good player.
