Brighton Complete Signing of KRC Genk Winger Leandro Trossard on 4-Year Deal

Brighton and Hove Albion have completed the signing of Belgian winger Leandro Trossard, the 24-year-old arriving from Genk on a four-year deal. 

Trossard scored 14 times in the Belgian side's recent title-winning campaign, adding an impressive eight goals in the Europa League in his best season as a professional. 

The deal is believed to be worth around £15m. 

​Seagulls boss Graham Potter told the club's website: “We are delighted to welcome Leandro to the club and excited about the impact he can have for us. He’s an attack-minded player who had a very impressive season last year in helping Genk win the league title.

“He was influential in the side’s success last term and scored a lot of goals, as well as creating chances for others. At 24 he also brings good experience, having captained the side and also featured many times in the Europa League.”

The Seagulls were one of four teams to score at a rate of less than one goal per game in the Premier League last season – with the other three all being relegated. 

Trossard is Brighton's second signing of the summer, arriving the week after Matt Clarke – the centre-back arriving from Portsmouth for £4m to beef up new manager Potter's defence.
