Recent reports suggested the forward was top of the English manager’s wish list.
Trossard isn’t interested in the speculation, but told Het Niuewsblad “I want to go” if Chelsea did make their move when the transfer window opens in January.
“I feel very good. We had a super good start with Brighton,” he 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.”
