According to Ben Jacobs, 27 year old Belgium international Leandro Trossard has been offered to Chelsea ahead of the January transfer window.

Speaking to Givemesport, Ben Jacobs said: “We’ll have to wait and see whether United decide to look a little bit closer to home and see whether there’s that shorter term and closer to home goalscorer that they might be able to attract.

“We know, for example, that Trossard at Brighton is being put in the shop window by his agent. He’s been offered to Manchester United, he’s been offered to Liverpool and he’s been offered to Chelsea. Liverpool are not interested.

“Manchester United haven’t really bitten, but given the [Cristiano] Ronaldo situation, we have to wait and see if they consider a player like him, somebody gettable, somebody that is in good form and somebody that can just tide them over and continue the momentum that they’re building under Erik ten Hag between now and the summer, at which point they can then come in for a big name.”

Trossard will be out of contract at the end of the season, and Brighton have not been able to agree on an extension with the player.

He has contributed to 10 goals in the Premier League so far this season with seven goals and three assists to his name.
