Brighton have confirmed the signing of KRC Genk winger Leandro Trossard on a four-year deal.
The Seagulls announced the deal on Wednesday afternoon for a fee thought to be worth an initial £15 million ($19m), making the Belgian their second summer addition following the arrival of Portsmouth defender Matt Clarke.
Clarke arrived from Pompey last week to bolster Brighton’s defence, with the 22-year-old arriving having helped the club to the League One play-off semi-final as well as victory in the Checkatrade Trophy.
