Signing Leandro Trossard and then extending the deal is surely one of those moves. A scrutiny might yield the exact opposite conclusion: in fact, the move is much smarter than it first appears. In any case, Arsenal’s latest transfer dealings are, with truth, a microscopic representation of heaven, hell, and purgatory.
Tactical Flexibility for Arsenal with Trossard
Because this transfer affords tactical options to Arsenal, it is genius. Trossard is very much a chameleon in his play, and this is unlike most other players. He can function anywhere along the forward line, giving cover and contesting in a variety of positions.
Such versatility becomes tenfold value during a long and arduous season as injuries and in-form drops multiply. To have one man who can fit in anywhere on the left wing, as a false nine, or even as a more central attacking drill, gives far more options than most teams could ever dream of. It is this versatility that now.
Impact of Trossard on Arsenal Attack
Besides versatility, another area that distinguishes Trossard from other talented players lies in aspects of close control, like intuitive finishing skills and link-up play. He keeps being inefficient in the truly “workmanlike” sense.
Financial Prudence for Arsenal in the Trossard Setup
Thinking in terms of finances, the Trossard transfer might have to be rated an extremely smart one. A case could have been championed for a somewhat lower transfer fee; yet, given the value the player has brought into the club, combined with his not-so-high wage demands at a high level of competition, it has all the appearances of being worth the money.
Authors Opinion
It offers a bargain in terms of quality and tactical flexibility. The renewal stands as a perfect reaffirmation of this prudent stance: it forces down an asset at no further cost to the club, thus freeing funds for other parts of the squad. Such financial prudence would indeed be much required for further sustainability and to keep Arsenal on the mainstream track without ever risking too much in debt.
