Not too long ago, Arsenal fans were calling for their team to secure a striker amid a stumbling Premier League title challenge. However, upon Mikel Arteta and his team’s return from the winter break, they showcased an impressive attacking display, scoring five goals against Crystal Palace, three against Liverpool, and six against West Ham United.
Leandro Trossard, who scored three goals during this period, has earned plaudits from Tim Sherwood, who regards him as a ‘fantastic addition for Arsenal.’ The £27 million signing arrived at the Emirates in January, choosing the Brighton player over Mykhailo Mudryk, despite earlier strong links.
Trossard boasts a record of 10 goals and 12 assists in 50 games across all competitions, contrasting with Mudryk’s four goals and five assists in 42 Chelsea appearances. Tim Sherwood draws comparisons between Trossard and Liverpool’s Diogo Jota, highlighting their effectiveness and readiness to deliver when required.
The former Arsenal player favors Trossard over Havertz in the number nine position, praising his ability to influence the game with either assists or goals. Sherwood concludes that Trossard has proven to be a valuable acquisition for Arsenal, cementing his place in Mikel Arteta’s starting lineup.
