Brighton star Leandro Trossard has said he would be open to joining Chelsea with former boss Graham Potter if ‘the opportunity arises’.
The Belgium international was Potter’s second signing after joining the Seagulls in 2019 and has become one of their most integral players in recent years.
And after his former coach swapped the Amex for Stamford Bridge, the 27-year-old has admitted he would consider doing the same if given the chance.

Potter moved from Brighton to Chelsea earlier this month following the departure of Thomas Tuchel
Speak with The newspapaerTrossard said: ‘Our coach has now left for Chelsea, but speculation that I would follow him makes no sense.
“If the opportunity arises, I want to go. But I want to play and not sit on the couch.’
The midfielder has been a fixture in the Sussex first team since joining the club from Genk, making 106 appearances in all competitions so far.
His club form has made him a common feature of the Belgian national team and Trossard confirmed that he feels he has ‘got better’ since moving to England.
‘I feel very good. We have had a very good start with Brighton. I’ve evolved a lot,” he continued.
The Belgian midfielder built a strong relationship with Potter during their three years together
“I now know how the Premier League works. I grew a lot in that. Confidence, mentally, physically,… I’ve gotten better. I’ve mastered the tricks now.’
The Seagulls are currently in a transition period with former Sassuolo and Shakhtar Donetsk boss Roberto De Zerbi taking charge of the team only last week.
The 43-year-old Italian has signed a four-year contract and will have time to work with the players during the international match – although Trossard won’t be, as he was away with the Red Devils.
He came off the bench to play 25 minutes into their 2-1 Nations League win over Wales on Thursday night.
