Leandro Trossard started this season with a bang and scored goals relentlessly for Brighton as they challenge for a European spot.
Over the years, the Belgian has become one of the decisive players in the Premier League and was set to leave the Seagulls at the end of this season.
However, they triggered an extension to his contract to keep him at the club until 2024 and will look to command a transfer fee to sell him now or in the summer.
A report on Football London reveals Mikel Arteta’s side remains keen on the former Genk player after watching him put in some fine shifts in the league.
However, the Gunners are not alone in the battle for his signature, with Chelsea and Tottenham also looking to add him to their squad.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Trossard is an accomplished Premier League attacker who should do well for a top side like Arsenal, even though he has never played at a club of that calibre.
We have top attacking options on our books now, but squad depth is important and most top clubs have several players who fit into one position.
Trossard will be a very good squad member, but the Belgian might ignore our interest if we do not provide him with a guarantee of playing time.

Give the lad a chance and see him put in a shift. If we could waste millions on the likes of Laca , Ozil, Pepe, why not Trossad? Mikel is the man with the Midas touch, he can change the fortunes of any player willing to be mentored by him.
False rumour. We don’t even need him
Towards the run in of the league tittle we need many options. He’s a poacher and can only get better if he joins us.
He will be a good addition but the mention of Chelsea and Spurs, sounds like someone wants to increase his calendar.
Who are the “top attacking options we have on our books”?
Asking for a friend.
There are three Brighton players who I would consider acquiring, and the Belgium is not one of them.
If I am not mistaken, Trossard wants regular game time if he makes a switch from Brighton to another club. With Martinelli and Saka as our first choice wingers, he may find it difficult to dislodge either of them. However, with the number of fixtures Arsenal has in every season, there could be enough game time for Trossard with Arteta rotating the squad frequently to keep the players fresh and strong. Trossard would be a great acquisition considering his talent and experience playing in the PL.
Arsenal keep on delaying the acquisition of players every year and end up with nothing unlike Chelsea which has already shopped four important players. It’s a wait and see scenario if Arsenal will achieve anything.
Delay in acquisition of players has been a thing the management has to work on seriously. Any player that can contribute to the success of the club at any given opportunity should be included, especially those prospect with huge premier league experience.
Pls stop delay and get Him considering he’s young and can be important to Arsenal now and even in the future Arteta plans. Thank you!
He’s being left out of the squad due to “Disciplinary issues” so looks like somebody’s turning his head.
