Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has raved about Leandro Trossard on the club’s official website after the match against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
The Gunners got the better of the Foxes 1-0.
Brazil international forward Gabriel Martinelli scored the only goal of the match in the 46th minute.
Winger Trossard, who joined Arsenal from Premier League rivals Brighton and Hove Albion in the January transfer window, provided the assist.
Arteta was hugely impressed by the 28-year-old winger and has outlined the attributes of the experienced star that make him so good.

The Arsenal boss said about Trossard: “He did really well. I think he was really good, I think he got involved in many situations that could have ended up in many more big chances, he was involved in the incredible goal that he scored that was disallowed, involved in the goal of Gabi, the pass that he played to him, he’s so good in small spaces, tight spaces, with his creativity to open people up and I’m really happy with him.”
Impressive
