Leandro Trossard salary at Arsenal
The report has claimed that Arsenal are on the verge of signing Trossard from Premier League rivals Brighton and Hove Albion in the January transfer window.
The Belgium international will reportedly double his current salary at Brighton to £90,000 per week at Arsenal.
According to Spotrac, Brazil international forward Gabriel Martinelli is on £90,000 per week as salary at the Gunners, while England international star Saka gets £70,000 per week.
So, the Belgian will earn more than Saka and as much as Martinelli at Arsenal, according to the report in The Daily Mail.
90min have claimed that Trossard will undergo a medical at the Gunners before completing a £27 million transfer from Brighton.
Good decision from the Gunners?
As reported by The Daily Mail, Arsenal wanted to sign Mykhailo Mudryk, but Chelsea made a late move to snap up the Ukraine international winger.
So, it seems that the Gunners have moved on to their seocnd-choice winger target.
Trossard is a good winger who has done well for Brighton in the Premier League, and the Belgian will be able to make an instant impact at Arsenal.
Yes, the Gunners tend to make signings for the long term, but the North London club are in a great position to win the Premier League this season.
Given Trossard’s experience of playing in the English top flight, the 28-year-old is likely to be able to hit the ground running at Arsenal and provide a suitable back-up to Saka and Martinelli.
