Brighton boss Graham Potter has told Leandro Trossard it's time to go to the next level.
Trossard scored his third and fourth league goals of the season against Southampton and Newcastle respectively, and he continued his recent hot streak with a double for Belgium against Belarus on Tuesday.
Potter admitted Trossard has had a forgettable campaign but is heartened that the winger seems to be growing in confidence.
“He's had a frustrating season," Potter said. “On other days he could have scored a lot more goals, hit the post I don't know how many times.
“But he's getting in the areas, taking better decisions, playing with a bit more confidence and I would use the word arrogance but not in a bad way, it's a belief in his ability.
“I'm really pleased for him that he's influencing the game in terms of goals and assists because that's what he wants to do, that's how he sees himself and he knows it's an area of the game he had to improve.
“I think if you want to get into the Belgium side and go to the next stage of your career as a Premier League player, you have to do that.
“He's aware of that but he's a great lad, working very hard at his game and I'm pleased for him that he's taking some steps."
