Leandro Trossard, a versatile attacking player who can play on the wing, as a central attacking midfielder, or even as a forward, has been in outstanding form for Brighton in the Premier League this season, scoring seven goals and assisting on three others in 16 games.
The 28-year-old Belgian international is renowned for his speed, technical skill, and eye for goal, and he would give Arsenal’s attack a new dimension. He has been linked with a transfer to Arsenal for some time now.
Trossard was once anticipated to be Arsenal’s secondary option behind Mykhaylo Mudryk. However, after Chelsea sensationally hijacked the deal for the Ukrainian, it looks like the Gunners have moved their focus to Brighton & Hove Albion forward.
Brighton has a deal with Leandro Trossard until 2024. The transfer would be a huge expenditure for Arsenal, who are seeking to bolster their squad depth as they begin their long-awaited assault for the Premier League championship.
The Belgian is a good footballer with a Premier League track record. He arrives in good shape. As the agreement nears completion, it is probable that a formal announcement will be made within the next several days.
