‘He is far superior to Chelsea Sterling and Rashford, since every shot he takes results in a goal. His goal-scoring mindset continues to astound me even now.’ Wayne Rooney, Manchester United star, says Arsenal’s £50 million player poses a threat to Premier League defenders. Not Saka, not Martinelli
Chris Sutton has given his judgment on Leandro Trossard’s performance in Arsenal’s 6-0 victory over West Ham at the London Stadium on Sunday.
Mikel Arteta’s side scored a decisive victory in the Premier League title chase. Arsenal were utterly merciless against the Hammers, proving a point despite fears about how they would cope without a lethal goalscorer.
Leandro Trossard was among those who scored against the Irons. The Belgian was chosen to lead the line after Kai Havertz was assigned a similar role against Liverpool in their previous game.
Chris Sutton lauds Leandro Trossard after Arsenal win
Chris Sutton praises Leandro Trossard following Arsenal’s win.
Trossard squandered an early opportunity. However, he made amends with a stunning finish into the top corner shortly before halftime. His movement seems to cause havoc in West Ham’s underwhelming defending.
And, speaking on The Monday Night Club, Chris Sutton stated that he was astounded by the £27 million forward’s performance, while also praising Mikel Arteta for choosing him up front.
“Trossard had an outstanding game. It’s amazing management by Arteta to perceive Trossard as a nine or a false nine and play him accordingly. “They just blew West Ham away,” he explained.
A remarkably astute acquisition, pound for pound, Trossard stands out as one of the most astute signings among the current Arsenal players. Despite his arrival from Brighton in the January 2023 transfer window generating little fanfare, he has proven to be exceptional for the Gunners. Despite rarely holding a consistent position, Trossard’s versatility has been outstanding, capable of making an impact anywhere in the forward line. If his recent performances are indicative of future form, Arteta will face a challenging decision regarding Gabriel Jesus’s reintroduction when the Brazilian is fit again.
