The Athletic have reported Albert Stuivenberg, the assistant manager of Arsenal eased the concerns surrounding the attitude of soon-to-be Gunner, Leandro Trossard.

Recently, the Belgian attacker has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons, as Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi slammed his attitude.

“Nothing serious happened with [Leandro] Trossard. But recently, he didn’t give 100 per cent in training and on matchday, that’s it on my side. Football deserves respect. I don’t have to apologise for anything.”

“Everyone in the dressing room knows how things went. But if Trossand wants to re-join us with the right attitude, I am happy to coach him”, De Zerbi said (as relayed by talkSPORT).

After De Zerbi’s comments, many felt it was a red flag that Mikel Arteta’s side had planned to sign the 28-year-old.

However, it seems as if Arsenal assistant coach, Albert Stuivenberg has faith in Leandro Trossard as well as his attitude, considering the pair worked in tandem at Genk, where the former was the manager.

Considering Mikel Arteta clearly was not a fan of now-Chelsea striker, Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang’s behaviour as a whole, he took the ruthless decision of stripping him off the captaincy before selling him.

Could the same be the case with Trossard is a question that seems be to haunting a certain section of the Emirates faithful.

However, the Athletic have reported that despite Roberto De Zerbi’s latest comments, Albert Stuivenberg has simmered down any ‘concerns’ about a potential attitude problem that Leandro Trossard could have.

The report also mentions that this could well stem from the fact that the duo worked in close quarters just a few years ago in Belgium.

Ultimately, only time will tell whether Albert Stuivenberg is proven right about Leandro Trossard and his attitude, as the last thing Mikel Arteta and Arsenal need is any figure that holds their project back.
