Arsenal is in negotiations to finalize an extension of the deal for Belgian winger Leandro Trossard, securing him the role of playing regular minutes in their team. Since signing for Arsenal, Trossard has netted some key strikes and provides much to the team through assists. The nature of discussions will be tweaked upwards of his terms to reflect the essence of Mikel Arteta’s project. Arsenal wants to snuff out any other interest from other clubs and tie down Trossard as the club heads into a very busy second half of the season.
Impact of Trossard
The winger has been a welcome addition as a reliable squad member since his arrival from Brighton, and Arsenal wants him at all costs in light of interest from Saudi Arabian clubs. This move cements the club’s strategy regarding the depth of the squad and rewarding consistent contributors. Still, questions do remain over his recent form, having scored just two goal contributions from his last 13 games. Some are wondering if Arsenal should have been looking for a far younger long-term replacement instead.
Still, though, Trossard offers experience and flexibility that Mikel Arteta holds in high esteem, and that will be important as the season becomes congested over the Premier League and the Champions League.
