Ian Wright has heaped praise on new Arsenal signing Leandro Trossard after the Belgian scored for the club in their 1-1 draw against Brentford yesterday.
Mikel Arteta added the attacker to his squad in the last transfer window to give the team more depth in the forward positions.
Brentford limited the impact of Gabriel Martinelli in the first half as Arsenal struggled to break them down.
This forced Arteta to replace the Brazilian with Trossard and the ex-Brighton man scored four minutes after getting on the pitch.
It is the type of impact Arsenal needed from the bench and Wright believes the Belgian is perfect for the role.
He said via The Daily Mail: ‘That is what is going to have to happen, you are going to need goals from other places.
‘It wasn’t happening for Martinelli in the first half and what you need is for something to happen off the bench and this is why he is such a good signing.
‘We know he is capable at this level. He just sneaks in at the back there and gets the goal.’
Just Arsenal Opinion
Trossard has been a fine attacker in the Premier League and brings a lot of experience to the Emirates with this move.
We do expect him to deliver and if he keeps scoring crucial goals, we can be hopeful this season will finish successfully for us.

Tossard enter the fray and his approach was different he uses his experience to telling effect.
He was like a hungry animal on the hunt, he releases the ball quickly and was unpredictable.
He must start. He’s scored against all top teams in the PL for Brighton. He’s also our current top scorer.
OT.
For Arsenal to beat Man City in the Epl big game match at the Ems on this week’s Wednesday night.
Arteta and the Gunners who he will select to start the match and come on off the bench for it.
Must all up their antennas for the match and in the game. First, in correct match selection by Arteta to start/play the match.
And two, by the Gunners who have been selected to start the march and also come on for it to play.
Up their antennas in the game far above that which Pep Guardiola and his Citizens can’t matched nor surpassed in the game throughout the whole duration the game will last.
But not only the aboves. For, the Gunners MUST be very clinically actuate in front of Man City’s goalmouth to convert their goals scoring chances to goals scored by them in the match. Or even force the Citizens to conced a penalty in the match to Arsenal. And from which the Gunners MUST convert the penalty unfailingly. Or also force the Citizens to score an own goal for Arsenal in the match.
Finally. Arteta MUST evolve to be innovate in his Gunners matchday team squad selection for the match.
But not be rigidly conservative in his Gunners selection to start the match to not introduce at least some 4 changes to his starting team he started for our last Brentford matxh at the Ems last Saturday.
But revitalize that his last Brentford starting team. By starting Tomiyasu, Tierney, Zinchenko (centrally) and Trossard, in place of starting While, Zinchenko (at LFB) and Martinelli.
I think I’ve finished what I think and believe that Arteta should do to enhance the Gunners chances to beat Man City. Hopefully, he will accept my proposals.
Based on the terms of your final paragraph ,it would seem we would be starting against City with 12 players?Somehow or another, I don’t think Pep would accept this.
