Trossard was part of Belgium’s 2022 World Cup squad
Arsenal have agreed to sign Belgium international Leandro Trossard from Brighton for £21m plus add-ons.
League leaders Arsenal made the move after missing out on Chelsea signing Ukrainian winger Mykhailo Mudryk.
Trossar has scored seven goals and provided three assists in 16 top-flight games for Brighton this season.
He scored a hat-trick in a 3-3 draw with Liverpool in October but was dropped by De Zerby for the 3-0 win against the Reds on 14 January after leaving training early without permission.
Trossard’s agent Josie Comhair said his client, who joined Brighton from Belgian side Genk in 2019, had a calf injury, but added that a January transfer would be “beneficial for both parties”.
The Gunners are at the top of the Premier League with an eight-point lead after 18 games.
