Leandro Trossard celebrates after levelling against the Hammers

Winger Leandro Trossard arrived at The Amex last summer from Belgian top-flight side KRC Genk, having played a pivotal role in their Jupiler Pro League title winning campaign.

An incredibly fruitful 2018/19 season saw the Genk academy graduate not only shine domestically, but also in the Europa League, bagging an impressive eight goals in 11 outings.

He penned a four-year-contract with the Seagulls and hit the ground running for Graham Potter's side, netting on his Premier League debut against West Ham United with a fantastic strike into the bottom left corner from the edge of the box in a 1-1 draw.

The 25-year-old has gone onto make a further 23 appearances for the Albion so far this season, finding the net on two more occasions – once against Norwich City in a 2-0 win at The Amex, before grabbing another in the 1-1 draw against Aston Villa back in January.

A creative outlet for Graham Potter’s team, the former Belgium Under-21 international has set up on average 1.5 chances per game, registering three assists.

With the Albion back in action tomorrow against Arsenal, Trossard will be looking to play a role in recording back-to-back victories against the Gunners, having come on for the final ten minutes in the 2-1 win at The Emirates earlier on this season.
