The Gooners don’t brag about it, but signing Leandro Trossard was a brilliant move. The Belgian international is versatile, and he may be having his best season in the Premier League since his debut.
Trossard has been in the Premier League for three seasons and scored eight goals last season. Prior to that, he had scored five league goals in a row. Trossard is on pace to set a personal goal record this season with 7 goals in 17 games.
Stan Collymore believes Arsenal’s signing of Trossard alone is a better deal than Tottenham’s determined pursuit of Sporting Lisbon’s Pedro Porro. Tottenham’s major winter signing was Pedro Porro, who was signed on a £5 million loan deal with a £39 million option to buy clause.
“Pedro Porro came in from Sporting Lisbon. It’s a great move for him, but he’s an average player that’ll be told to do a job. When you compare that kind of signing to the ones Chelsea are making, sure, it may be unfair to compare any club to them because they’re blowing everyone out of the water at the moment, but even Arsenal’s signing of Trossard, Spurs fans must be pulling their hair out thinking, “Why couldn’t we have got him?” Stan Collymore said on Caught Offside.
It’s amusing to hear Spurs being teased about why they couldn’t muster the courage to beat Arsenal to Leandro Trossard’s deal. Nevertheless, for all the brilliant moves Arsenal made last month, Arteta and Edu deserve all the credit.

Look Daren N. Sorry for my saying this. With all the acilades for his being a dependable Epl top player. After Arsenal signed him ‘ Lesandro Trossard last Jan transfer window.
But Trossard has failed in 2 Arsenal’s matches played in the FA Cup and Epl live up to us Gooners expectations. As he did not make it look like, the means has justified the ends. If the reported £27m that Arsenal paid to sign him is to be justified by him. When he came on in our last Man City game in the FA Cup and today at Everton. But what did Trossard do to influence directly or indirectly a result for Arsenal in the 2 Cup and League matches, in the form of to score or provide assist that resulted to goal scored for Arsenal to win or play to a draw?
I cried in my mind today when the Gunners painfully lost 1-0 to the Toffees in the Epl at Goodison Park today. Because I thought Everton ball playing is not very strong that should beat Arsenal ball playing. Even the ball possession in the match was 70 to Arsenal againsr 30 to Everton. But the Gunners were wasteful in front of the Everyon’s goalmouth. Why? Nkethia blazed over when he had a golden chance to open the score in the match for Arsenal.
Notwithstanding anyway, Arsenal quest to haul for a 100 points collection in the Epl this season and collect them to win the title is still on the cards.
Even if Man City beat Spurs at away tomorrow to close the gap on Arsenal to 2 points lead, but Arsenal will reinstate their 5 points lead on Man City after beating Brentford at the Ems in their next week’s midweek match. After which they will beat Man City at the same Ems to go 8 points clear on them to continue sitting on top of the table.
This is a achievable goal that the Gunners MUST in their next 2 Epl matches play for to achieve and achieve it no matter what may come in the 2 matches, the Gunners MUST win them unfailingly.
There were those who were sure we would beat Everton and now you seem sure we will beat Brentford and City??? In the PL there are no easy games or guaranteed wins.
I agree with you that the jury is out on the quality of our transfer business. We are still extremely reliable on Partey so if he gets injured I am not at all convinced we have the cover for him needed. Also, we lost Jesus and did not find cover for him. If Nketia gets injured we will have to experiment with the likes of Marinelli. Not good.
The only reason Trossard is a decent signing is that ESR seems permanently injured. Otherwise, ESR could provide the occasional cover for Saka or Martinelli.
But last Jan striker was our biggest need and we didn’t cover that. This summer cover for Partey was our biggest need and we didn’t cover that. This January cover for Jesus and Partey was our biggest need and we didn’t cover that properly.
We are paper thin as a squad, our push to finish in the top 3 will rely on our ability to keep our starting 11 injury free.
