Tottenham is interested in signing Belgium attacker Leandro Trossard, as Antonio Conte hopes to challenge through the end of the season.

He is a manger, and as long as he is the coach, He make the decisions for the first 11 players, he declared.
The transfer market, other teams, or other conversations are not on his mind. Playing for the team, working, and running on the field are the sole topics of talk.
Tottenham are currently facing an injury crisis as Richarlison and Lucas Moura are sidelined.
Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur, two midfielders, are also dealing with fitness difficulties.

Leandro Trossard contract ends at the end of the season. He was left out of the squad that defeated Middlesbrough 5-1 in the FA Cup third round over doubt about his future.
Since the winger joined Brighton in 2019 from Genk for £15 million, he has been an important player. Trossard scored 25 goals and had 14 assists in 141 appearances for the English club.

The issue between Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi and Trossard
The former Shakthar Donetsk manager confirmed that Trossard had been dropped against Liverpool.
The player claimed he wouldn’t sign a new deal at the end of the season, and he is likely to move to a Champions League side.
It was reported that there was some form of altercation between the player and another player on the training ground.
The Brighton trainer told the player he doesn’t want to see him on the pitch again due to his bad behavior.
He also indicated that the best solution to the Trossard issue is a transfer to any other team.
