Tottenham Hotspur are looking to improve their attacking options in January and the Londoners are thought to be keeping tabs on the Brighton star Leandro Trossard.
According to journalist Alexandre Braeckman, Tottenham are expected to come forward with an enquiry for the 28-year-old Belgian international soon.
Trossard’s representatives have issued a statement claiming that the Belgian wants to leave Brighton this month.
The player was recently left out of the squad to face Liverpool because of behavioural issues and it seems that the midfielder is keen on an exit this month.
Tottenham devrait rapidement se renseigner. Cependant, ce genre de comportement peut dissuader des clubs intéressés. Ça ne devrait jamais arriver. #mercato https://t.co/28U15OzaaX

Trossard has been in impressive form for Brighton scoring 7 goals and picking up 3 assists in the Premier League so far.
Tottenham could definitely use more depth in the final third and the 28-year-old could prove to be a quality acquisition. He is well-settled in the Premier League and he could make an immediate impact at the London club. A player of his calibre deserves to play for a bigger team and Tottenham can provide him with Champions League football.
Antonio Conte has had to rely on Harry Kane as his main goal scorer this season and Trossard could certainly share the goal-scoring burden alongside the England international and add more creativity as well.
The Belgian is versatile enough to play as a winger as well as an attacking midfielder. He could prove to be a utility player for Conte during the second half of the season.
Brighton might not be keen on holding on to an unhappy player and it remains to be seen whether the Seagulls are prepared to let him leave for a nominal prize before the January window closes.
