Martin Keown has raved about Arsenal winger Leandro Trossard on talkSPORT (11:24am, March 13, 2023).
The Arsenal legend has been impressed by how well Trossard has done for the Gunners since his move from Premier League rivals Brighton and Hove Albion in the January transfer window.
Keown has said that the 28-year-old is a very intelligent footballer, and believes that the Belgium international can play even as a full-back.
Trossard is a winger by trade, but under Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta in recent weeks, he has operated upfront and as a false 9.
TalkSPORT pundit Keown made the comments about Trossard while analysing his performance against Fulham this past weekend.
The winger provided all three assists in Arsenal’s 3-0 win against Fulham at Craven Cottage in the Premier League.

Keown said about Trossard: “Trossard’s intelligence, never gives the ball away.”
The pundit added: “I think he has been a really good acquisition, great bit of business, can play anywhere across the front. You could even play him full-back, but his football intelligence and how quickly… Such an intelligent player.”
HITC View: Leandro Trossard a smart signing for Arsenal
In our view, Leandro Trossard has been a very smart signing for Arsenal and is showing what he can so.
The winger was making an impact off the bench initially, and now he is playing a key role as a starter.
Trossard is a very skilful winger who knows how to manipulate the ball and is brilliant with his decision-making.
It was very smart of Arsenal to bring in Trossard in the middle of the season in their quest to win the Premier League title.
After all, the winger is at the top of his game and knows the Premier League inside out.
