Can’t see him playing wing back

LWB, you must be joking? Not a chance he will be deployed in that position. Besides, I cannot imagine Brighton willing to sell him.this window, particularly at a price that we would.want to pay.

I thought Richarlison could be a natural alternative for Son
out of contract in the summer though

Ah, that I did not know, that may very well make a difference.

Porro could be anything
It’s his third season there IIRC and why didn’t we want him in the summer….
trossard is a very good, technical player and one I rate
He couldn’t theory be a Kulu type option for us but i personally don’t remember him playing on the right
I think Trossard is more like cover for Son - quick, direct, etc. Personally I prefer that we sign younger players given that by the time a 28 year old has settled in, you're thinking about what their shelf life is. However on a low fee given he's out of contract soon, and also replacing Moura who would probably leave for nothing, its probably a good deal

Although not as quick I thought Richarlison was seen as backup for Son and Kane, given they are rarely rotated, so whilst I'd love to have more attacking options with pace on the bench someone who could play lwf would be a higher priority for me. Arguably the 2 rwf options is one of our strongest areas!
Unless Richarlison's injury is a lot worse than feared.

Agreed. Depends on fee. Age far from perfect, but a good PL proven player.
Seems to me like a player that could step up a level with better players around him perhaps?

Is Trossard a speedy player?
If not, as good as he seems, it will feel a bit pointless for me...
In any case, feels like agents using our name for contract negotiations again anyway

He's not slow, if you use FIFA cards as a view, he's in the range of Deki but slower than Son or Richarlison.
He's PL proven, wide attacking player, 7 goals in 17 this season, out of contract in June.
Talk is £8M for a player in the £30-£35M price range, I don't think you can go wrong on this one.

They will extend his contract to get the fee up

Sounds like a Moura replacement in the squad, not in terms of skill set but more in terms of rank. For the price he’d be a smart buy for a couple of seasons. Doesn’t set the pulse racing, but not every signing has to.

Very odd cover for son IMO because it makes Richarlson only cover for Kane
Would mean Gil is cover for Kulu
Richarlson for Kane and Trossard for son
obviously there would be flexibility in there too

Just seen it mentioned (twitter) that Brighton have activated a 1 year option, so his contract runs until 2024 rather than this summer. I haven't found anything substantive to back that up, but equally haven't spent much time searching.
He's a good player, 7 in 17 for wide player in a side around the relegation zone area is pretty good.
Every time I've seen him, he's impressed.
