Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has praised Leandro Trossard after he found a late equaliser against Chelsea on Saturday evening.
Leandro Trossard is impressing in Arsenal training, at least in the eyes of boss Mikel Arteta.
Trossard was the hero for Arsenal on Saturday evening as he secured a point against Chelsea.
Arsenal were 2-0 down before Declan Rice gave Arsenal hope, with Trossard then finding a leveller.
Trossard celebrated on Instagram after the game, simply stating ‘never count us out’ as Arsenal came from behind to claim a draw.
Mikel Arteta praises Arsenal ace Leandro Trossard
Trossard started the game on the bench but again made a real impact as a substitute.
The Belgian may not always shine as a starter, but he just seems to make an impression when coming off the bench.
Gunners boss Arteta has now moved to praise Trossard whilst speaking to Arsenal’s official website.
Arteta suggested that Trossard has real belief and is training well every single day in an attempt to play for Arsenal.
Arteta added that Trossard is fighting ‘for every second’ and that is the mentality he wants to see in his Gunners squad.
“[Leo’s] got belief, because he’s training every day to be selected and he fights for every second that he has in the team, and that’s the mentality,” said Arteta.
My view: Trossard may struggle to land starting role at Arsenal
Trossard has chipped in with five goals and 11 assists in 30 games since joining Arsenal for around £27million in January.
That’s a hugely impressive record and Trossard’s attitude seems to be seriously impressing Arteta.
However, Arsenal already have a quality left-sided winger with Gabriel Martinelli a key man both now and for the future.
Trossard may have to make do with mostly starting on the bench and trying to make an impact in limited minutes.
That worked against Chelsea on Saturday with Trossard proving Arteta’s ‘impacters’ theory correct at Stamford Bridge.
