Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta praises Leandro Trossard’s impact and versatility after the Belgian midfielder’s impressive performance in the win against Leeds.
Share:Arsenal’s newest hero, Leandro Trossard, has earned praise from manager Mikel Arteta for his impressive contributions to the team.
Since joining the Gunners from Brighton in January for a mere £28m, the Belgian international has scored one goal and provided seven assists in the Premier League. Trossard’s latest assist came during Arsenal’s 4-1 victory over Leeds at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, leaving the Gunners eight points ahead of second-placed Manchester City, having played a game more.
During the post-match press conference, Arteta was asked if he ever imagined Trossard making such an impact. The Arsenal manager replied with a cheeky smile, “I have very wild dreams!” before adding, “No, seriously, we knew about his quality and what he could bring to the team. We are really pleased with him.”
Trossard’s versatility has been particularly impressive, as he has played in a range of positions including right and left-wing, attacking midfielder, and false nine. Arteta also commended the 28-year-old’s willingness to take on responsibility in games and create opportunities for the team, saying “He really takes a lot of responsibility in games to make things happen – and we love that.”
With Trossard’s impressive performances, Arsenal’s hopes for a first Premier League title in 19 years look increasingly promising. The Belgian’s contribution to the team has certainly not gone unnoticed, with Arteta and fans alike appreciating his skill, versatility, and ability to take on a leadership role on the pitch.
