Interesting link, one I’ve not seen before. Priced at around £15 million according to this.

If that's his price we should be all over it, good player

Always liked him, but he’d be well down my Brighton shopping list.

He mostly plays LW, no? We're more than covered on that side.

He's a lovely footballer to watch with the ball.

Like many for Brighton a question of productivity which is hugely needed at top level but who knows if his productivity would significantly improve with better attackers.

Starting to play more for Belgium so that's probably a good guide.

28 years old this year.

Would like to see signings made who've yet to reach their peak and who'll still be starting games in 4 seasons time.

Very tidy technically gifted player. If it's a cheap fee, he'd be a great squad player

Scores two decent goals one night, gets linked to United the next morning. Football journalists steal a living.

I sometimes feel journalists have hacked a United scout's search history and think we're interested in any player we've googled.

Eriksen alternative I would think. Decent replacement for Mata, adds squad depth and can play LW,CAM,RW and false 9

I liked what I saw a couple of times when I saw him play, could be a decent squad option.

I don't know a great deal about him in terms of position as tends to play all over the place, but he's always been a handful. Could be a good signing looking to make the step up. Wonder where we see him fitting in, if true?

tidy player, better than what we currently have, would be a good addition.

How much is his share of the responsibility for spaffing the few hundred chances Brighton seem to create every game?

Feels like they'd be top four if they had anybody who could finish, so I'd be a bit cautious of taking anybody from their frontline.

Great little player. Always looks dangerous for Brighton.

Quick, agile and knows where the goal is. I'd definitely take him.

I read ”ready to take the next step in his career” and thought he’d be like 23-24 tops

Completely different type of player. Plays at RW mostly.
He plays at LW mostly. But, I'm thinking we'll play a 3-4-3 this year, with Timber on a back 3, and Trossard can play each side of the wing backs.

Has never had a decent game against top opposition in the PL to my knowledge. Severely limited player, the type you let Everton or Aston Villa go for.

He had a great game against Arsenal in Emirates.

The type of player I could see ETH get a good tune out of. I see similarities with Ziyech, who was excellent at Ajax.
Bit meh at Chelsea though.

For 15m I'd think it'd be a smart addition to the squad.

Brighton paid 15M for him, no way they sell him for a similar price range. Try 25-28M at least. I'm a fan of his game though.

Always looks great whenever I’ve seen him.

If he could work on not shitting the bed in front of goal then he’d be a great squad signing.

He's a good player, but let's be honest, there are other areas where we need to improve.

Would be the new Dan James. He'd do a job occasionally.
He's alot better than James. Alot.

Still, I expect these loose links will amount to absolutely nothing. He's a good player but ,if he does move on this summer, I expect him to gain interest from the likes of Everton, Villa etc.

And even If there was a big club after him I think it might be Arsenal and even then he'd be a squad player.
