Leandro Trossard: ‘What can I do to pass the time? Build a Lego Taj Mahal’

Brighton’s Belgian winger on lockdown distractions, the Seagulls’ promising start and following in Kevin De Bruyne’s footsteps
Leandro Trossard is able to laugh now but part of him is still puzzling at his failure to score after twice crossing swords with Manchester United recently without any joy. In midweek the Brighton winger had a rasping strike destined for the bottom corner scrambled to safety by Dean Henderson, five days on from becoming the first player since Cristiano Ronaldo to rattle the woodwork three times in a Premier League match. Unluckiest player in the world? “I do feel a bit like that,” he says, smiling. “The ball didn’t want to go in.”
The finishing touch may have eluded Trossard then but, while at home in Genk during lockdown, he had no such problems, devoting a week – a few hours each day – to building a Lego replica of the Taj Mahal, painstakingly assembling all 5,923 pieces to complete a labour of love, which now has pride of place.
