Man Utd, Newcastle eyeing Brighton midfielder Leandro Trossard

Manchester United and Newcastle United are interested in Brighton midfielder Leandro Trossard.

Last season, Trossard made 34 Premier League appearances, netting eight goals and laying on three assists.

RTBF says United and Newcastle would like to sign Trossard this summer.

The attacking midfielder has just one year remaining on his Seagulls contract.

Speaking after his side's 4-0 demolition of Man United last month, in which he scored, Trossard kept his options open.

"Of course, the World Cup in Qatar beckons. I think I've proven that I belong. But I don't have a crystal ball," he said.

"That also applies to my future. I still have a contract with Brighton until the summer of 2023.

"Will the big six come knocking for me at Brighton? We will see.

"If I really feel ready for that step up, I'll get into it, but I realise every day I'm not bad at Brighton."
