Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal want to sign Leandro Trossard from Premier League rivals Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer transfer window, according to Voetbal Belgie.

The report has claimed that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta wants to bring the 27-year-old winger to the Emirates Stadium this summer.

In June 2019, the Belgium international winger’s Josy Comhair told Het Laatste Nieuws, as translated by Sport Witness, that there was interest from Brighton and Arsenal in him before he joined Brighton from Genk in 2019.

It was “too early” for the winger to move to Arsenal, according to Comhair.

Leandro Trossard would make Arsenal better

In our view, Brighton and Hove Albion winger Leandro Trossard would make Arsenal a better team and would give manager Arteta another option in attack.

The 27-year-old has been very good for Brighton over the years and is at the top of his game at the moment.

The Belgian is ready to take the next step in his career, and a move to Arsenal would mean a step-up for him.

Trossard made 32 starts and two substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Seagulls this past season.

The £43,000-a-week (SalarySport) winger scored eight goals and gave three assists in those matches.
