Ian Wright has raved about Arsenal winger Leandro Trossard on The Kelly & Wrighty Show ahead of the Premier League game against Manchester City in midweek.

The former Arsenal star has said that Trossard has been “fantastic” for the Gunners since his move from Brighton and Hove Albion in the January transfer window.

The 28-year-old winger, who is earning £90,000 per week as salary (The Daily Mail), has scored one goal in three substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Gunners.

Arsenal are gong through a tricky period at the moment.

Mikel Arteta’s side lost against Manchester City in the fourth round of the FA Cup before going down 1-0 to Everton in the Premier League.

Arsenal played out a 1-1 draw with Brentford at the Emirates Stadium in the league at the weekend.

The Gunners will face City at home in the Premier League on Wednesday evening.

Arsenal are at the top of the Premier League table at the moment.

City are second in the standings and are the defending champions.

Ian Wright praises Arsenal winger Leandro Trossard

Wright said: “You are looking at Trossard. He has been fantastic.”

Interesting team selection

It will be interesting to see if Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta decides to include Leandro Trossard in the starting lineup against Manchester City.

Gabriel Martinelli has not been in great form in recent weeks, and maybe the Brazil international winger could be left out of the team against City.

Trossard is making a positive impact off the bench, and maybe the winger could start against the Citizens.
