Brighton boss Potter: Trossard offers something different

Brighton boss Graham Potter is delighted making Leandro Trossard his latest signing.

Trossard has become the fifth winger in the new head coach's Premier League squad following his move from Belgian club Genk.

“Leo, I suppose is classed as a wide player but he's a different type of wide man, not something that we've got already," Potter told The Argus.

“He can play wide but is probably better coming in off the wide and combining and being a technical link-up player, looking at overloads from central positions as well.

“When you look at the make-up of our group we probably haven't got that type of player.

“He's had success in Belgium and now the challenge for us is to help him adapt to life in the Premier League."
