He’s clever, two-footed and very technical. He’s 31 and his contract was expiring next year so it is a move that made sense for club and player, but I am pretty sure he has a couple more good years ahead of him. Gonna miss the grumpy little dude, he is totally clutch.
Arsenal picked him up from Brighton for £25 million after Chelsea went all in on Mykhailo Mudryk and paid £90 million to buy his contract from Shaktar, putting £45-50 million more than Arsenal had a tentative agreement to buy him for.
Mudryk is banned for doping, and it seems his speed and performance were largely the result of cheating, while Trossard has been a consummate pro, racking up 25+ goals and 25+ assists in 3 1/2 years. There is a lot to like about Leo, you’ve got a good one.
