A new era beckons at Brighton and Hove Albion. After helping the club to promotion and cementing their stay in the top-flight in successive seasons, the club felt the need for a fresh impetus, thereby deciding to part company with Chris Hughton.

Graham Potter was appointed at the helm and he wasted no time in attempting to stamp his authority at the club.

Leandro Trossard arrived from Genk for an undisclosed fee and the Belgian winger comes with a reputation of being one of the most potent attackers in his home country, registering 14 goals and seven assist 34 league outings for his club.

The diminutive attacker predominantly plays on the left-flank and Potter will be expecting his new signing to ease the pressure on Glen Murray, who has been the only reliable source of goals in their Premier League stint.

Trossard will look to dazzle the Premier League with his electric pace and silky feet and will be expected to play a key role if Brighton are to avoid the drop once again.
