Brighton transfer news: EPL rivals ‘checking’ potential swoop for Albion star, Tottenham ‘keeping tabs’ on midfielder

Brighton’s goal hero Leandro Trossard said he and his teammates played the ‘perfect game’ against Tottenham.

Albion controlled large periods of the game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and restricted Spurs to zero shots on target.

With the game heading for a goalless draw, Trossard took advantage of a mix-up at the back and brilliantly placed the ball past Hugo Lloris on the 89th minute.

He said: “I’m really happy for myself and especially for the team. It was a really good game.

“We kept on going and we reduced their chances. It was the perfect game for us.”

The Belgium international was deployed at wing-back as Graham Potter tweaked the side which beat Arsenal 2-1 last weekend.

“He (Potter) said yesterday that he had a special role for me at wing back,” Trossard said.

“He knew that I did that at Belgium.

“I think it worked well.

“That’s one of my strengths that I can play almost anywhere, except maybe centre back.

“I always do my best to help the team.”
