Arsenal and Tottenham were both linked with imminent Brighton signing last year.
Brighton and Hove Albion are set to complete a move for Leonardo Trossard for £18 million, Sky Sports report.
This is a major coup after the winger scored 22 goals and provide 11 assists for Genk last season.
Trossard is a player who The Sun report was interesting Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur last year.
Both the North London sides appear to have dropped the ball over the talented Belgian.
Trossard has a chance to show both teams what they are missing out on in the Premier League next season.
The 24-year-old has just broken into the Belgian national side over the past year.
He is a bright talent whose value can soar in the Premier League.
For Arsenal especially who have a limited transfer budget, £18 million is good value for a player of Trossard’s ability and potential.
The Sun reports Tottenham are considering a move for Leeds’ Jack Clarke at £8.5 million, a talented player, but one with just five league starts to his name.
Trossard is just a little more expensive, more experienced and could be a great addition to the Premier League.
Arsenal and Tottenham might go on to regret not following up their earlier interest, and that’s to Brighton’s good fortune.
