Anton Ferdinand hails Leandro Trossard as one of Mikel Arteta’s best signings at Arsenal

According to analyst Anton Ferdinand, Leandro Trossard has solidified his place as one of Mikel Arteta’s most important Arsenal signings.

Following Arsenal’s thrilling 2-2 tie with Bayern Munich, Ferdinand praised Trossard’s critical contribution in the Gunners’ Champions League campaign, praising him as an outstanding performance.

“It was no coincidence when Trossard came on and Jesus came on there was a difference. Jesus, I thought was brilliant when he came on. And Trossard, I think, has been probably one of the best signings Arsenal have made in terms of their squad,” he said.

“Because he doesn’t sulk when he doesn’t play. And when he comes on and when he plays, he delivers.”

With an initial £20 million investment, Trossard has far exceeded expectations, scoring 26 goals in his 60 Arsenal appearances across all competitions. Ferdinand said Trossard’s flexibility across the attacking line has been crucial for Arsenal’s success, with him producing important goals and assists when they were most required.

Ferdinand compared Trossard’s influence to high-profile changes such as Kai Havertz and Declan Rice, adding that Trossard’s signing is one of Arsenal’s shrewdest deals in recent memory. Even if the final cost is £27 million, Ferdinand believes it is a bargain given Trossard’s essential services on the field.

With Trossard’s a propensity for scoring crucial goals in critical conditions, such as the equalizer against Bayern Munich and previous matches against Porto, Ferdinand believes the Belgian forward’s role will be considered pivotal if Arsenal does something amazing this season.

As Arsenal continues to aim for Champions League glory, Trossard’s emergence as a major role under Arteta highlights the club’s astute managerial and recruitment initiatives.
