Brighton winger Leandro Trossard believes the team will have a bright future under Roberto De Zerbi.

The Albion have brought in De Zerbi to replace Graham Potter, who is now in charge at Chelsea.

Despite the upheaval, which has had an impact on the squad, Trossard is excited about playing for De Zerbi.

Trossard told The Argus: "It all happened quite quickly.

"One day we heard Tuchel was fired and that Graham was up there to take his place.

"For us it was a bit of a shock, but we knew that maybe one day he could go because he is a brilliant manager.

"At the beginning it was a bit strange, but now with the new coach we need to move on as a club and as players. I am excited to work with the new coach."

Asked if this season can be successful, he added: "Yes, of course.

"It doesn't mean if the coach departs that the team will play not as good.

"It is just maybe different things with the new manager, but that is up to him to get us going as well."
