The Premier League giants, Arsenal are in talks to renew the contract of their Belgian Winger Leandro Trossard.
The decision to keep him at the club comes after rivals West Ham United have also shown interest in signing him.
The start of the season has been underwhelming for Mikel Arteta’s side compared to the momentum of past seasons.
Many have sought reasons for Arsenal’s decline in performance this season, but injuries remain the most significant factor.
However, failing to sign players in the transfer window and using poor tactics are some other prominent factors we can’t overlook.
According to Caughoffside.com, talks are ongoing for a contract extension for Leandro Trossard with rivals West Ham also monitoring his situation.
Leandro Trossard- A Short Introduction
According to Wikipedia, He is a Belgian Professional Footballer who plays as a left winger or striker for the Premier League Club Arsenal.
He has been a prominent Belgium International Football member of the team since 2020.
Trossard was signed by Brighton and Hove Albion in 2019 on a four-year deal for a record fee at that time paid by the club.
His skills, gameplay and proficiency in scoring goals caught the eyes of the Big Six Premier League clubs.
However, the then-manager Roberto De Zerbi did not appreciate his time at Brighton, as he missed training sessions.
He finally signed with Arsenal in January 2023 for a fee of 20 million pounds, plus 7 million pounds on add-ons.
Since then he has proven himself as a productive signing for the Gunners with his consistency and Goal Scoring abilities.
Is Trossard The Right Choice For Arsenal?
This Premier League season Arsenal has been struggling to make an impact like their previous season.
Injuries, poor performances of the current players and minimal signings have all been assumed the reason behind their downfall.
If we talk about wingers and strikers, only Kai Havertz and Leandro Trosaard have impressed with their decent run.
However, Trossard has not started in most of the games, but whatever the chances given, he has successfully capitalised on it.
Mikel Arteta has recognised him as an essential player for his plans and intends to keep him at the club for long.
The Belgian International has made 83 appearances so far for the Gunners, with 20 goals and 13 assists to his name.
His abilities, goal-scoring proficiency and ability to switch between the role of winger and striker have prompted Arsenal to extend his contract.
