'He is INCREDIBLE': Pascal Gross hails Leandro Trossard's 'football ability' but insists Brighton 'have to focus on themselves' as they prepare to face their former teammate at the Emirates

Pascal Gross is not surprised to see Leandro Trossard shining at Arsenal – but warned his former team-mate there will be no room for emotion or sentiment when Brighton visit the Emirates on Sunday.

Trossard spent three and a half years on the South Coast before joining Arsenal in January for £21million.

The Belgian forward has been a crucial part of their title push over recent months, racking up one goal and eight assists in 17 Premier League appearances for Mikel Arteta’s side.

He will face his former team for the first time on Sunday, with Arsenal looking to keep pace with Manchester City and Brighton looking to secure European football for the very first time.
