Paul Scholes has given his verdict on the performance of Arsenal winger Leandro Trossard against David Moyes’s West Ham United.

The Manchester United legend was impressed by what he saw from Trossard in the London derby.

So, what has Paul Scholes said about Leandro Trossard? Let’s take a look.

Paul Scholes praises Arsenal winger Leandro Trossard vs West Ham United

Well, Arsenal hammered West Ham United 6-0 away from home at London Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday.

Leandro Trossard started the match for Arsenal. The £20 million (Sky Sports) player is a winger by trade, but against West Ham in the London derby, manager Mikel Arteta decided to play him down as the middle in a three-man forward line.

The Belgian was very good in his role as the false nine. He popped up almost everywhere on the pitch and showed his footballing intelligence.

Trossard scored in first-half injury time, and Manchester United legend Paul Scholes was impressed.

Scholes said on Premier League Productions at half time: ”Saka’s been a real threat and Trossard has been really good in midfield.”

My View: Leandro Trossard a good option for Arsenal

In my opinion, Arsenal winger Leandro Trossard is a very good option to have for manager Mikel Arteta.

Trossard is not a player who starts regularly for the Gunners, but he is someone who is very reliable and always puts a shift in.

The 29-year-old Belgium international winger is one of those rare players who can make an impact as a starter or as a substitute.

I believe that Trossard will play a big role for Arsenal in the coming weeks and months, as the North London club aim to beat Liverpool and Manchester City to the Premier League title this season.

Trossard has made eight starts and 12 substitute appearances in the Premier League for Arsenal this season. The winger has scored six goals and given one assist in those games.
