Brighton attacker Leandro Trossard has left the door open to joining Chelsea.

His impressive performances have helped Brighton clamber into the top eight, warranting the interest of his former manager Graham Potter at Chelsea.

Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri adds that Chelsea could be tempted into signing Trossard sooner rather than later, with a January switch potentially on the cards.

Speaking to Het Laatste Nieuws, the Belgian was quizzed on speculation regarding his future at Brighton. Trossard said: "Chelsea have in any case not yet reported.

"Not with Brighton and not with me. I have to wait and see. I want to finish strong at Brighton and leave for Qatar with that good feeling."

Then, the winger was asked for his thoughts on Potter's decision to leave Brighton.

He said: "That was very strange, because I've always played under Potter at Brighton and have got better year after year.

"You go through the full preparation and suddenly a new coach is there in September. Then you don't know what to expect, but the reactions about De Zerbi were only positive. He really wants to play football and the way he wants to play suits me perfectly."
