Arsenal in talks over move for Newcastle United transfer 'target' after Mykhailo Mudryk blow

Josy Comhair, Trossard's agent, revealed this month that the winger wanted to leave the Amex Stadium – and the 28-year-old has been linked with Newcastle United. Trossard is under contract at the Amex Stadium until the summer of 2024.

After revealing Trossard had been “grounded” by Brighton head coach Roberto De Zerbi, Comair said: "It’s important that Brighton cooperates with a potential transfer, which is beneficial for both parties.”

Arsenal are in talks with Brighton over a move for Trossard after missing out on Mykhailo Mudryk, according to reports. Mudryk, 22, joined Chelsea in an £88.5million deal.

Eddie Howe’s looking to strengthen his United squad in this month, but the club is constrained by financial fair play rules after spending more than £200million in the last two windows. United’s head coach could loan striker Chris Wood to Nottingham Forest.
