LEANDRO TROSSARD has admitted he would be open to leaving Brighton if the right team came in for him.
The winger is attracting transfer attention after scoring five goals in seven Premier League games this season, including a hat-trick at Anfield on Saturday.
The Belgian also has two assists and revealed he is happy at Brighton and is excited about starting a new chapter on the south coast under new boss Roberto De Zerbi.
He refused to give a definitive answer when asked about his future on the BBC’s Monday Night Club.
He said: “It’s difficult to say anything about that now.
“It completely depends on which club would come.

“If I feel good and things are good on a private level… but I also know how good I am at Brighton, also with new coach Roberto De Zerbi it looks promising.”
Arsenal and Chelsea are reportedly interested in the winger and Trossard, 27, admitted he would like to join former manager Graham Potter at Stamford Bridge.
He is refusing to dwell on the speculation linking him to Blues, but said he would go if the opportunity arises in January – as long as he gets assurances over game time.
Trossard said: “I have evolved tremendously. I now know how Premier League works. I’ve grown tremendously in that. Confidence, mentally, physically, … I have become better.

“I have mastered the tricks now. Our coach did leave for Chelsea now but speculations about me following him make no sense.
“If the opportunity arises, I want to go. But I want to play and not sit on the bench.”
Trossard was also linked to Manchester United and Newcastle in the summer and speculation about his future is likely to continue with his contract expiring at the end of the season.
