Arteta, The Head Of Arsenal, Discusses The Club’s Acquisition Of Trossard.

Leandro Trossard was acquired by Arsenal from Brighton, according to Mikel Arteta.

Given concerns about the player’s age and professionalism, the Spaniard provided the explanations.

After completing a £21 million transfer from Brighton to the Emirates on Friday, Trossard has joined Arsenal.

The offensive player could have a chance to play on Sunday against Manchester United.

After Chelsea hijacked their contract to sign Mykhailo Mudryk, Arsenal turned their focus to Trossard.

The decision to acquire a 28-year-old Trossard has been questioned, and supporters have not reacted to the news as enthusiastically as they have to other acquisitions.

Thomas Partey, who joined Arsenal in the summer of 2020, was really the last player beyond the age of 25 to sign with the club.

However, Arteta justified the selection in his news conference before to the game, stating,

It’s extremely easy. Currently, the team has room for a 28-year-old player.

“With the appropriate knowledge, adaptability, and caliber. Certainly, and at the appropriate price as well. And we didn’t have any concerns about it.

“It’s not that we were forced to sign 20, 21, or 22-year-olds for the next five years. That isn’t the strategy.

The Gunners required a balance, according to the former Manchester City assistant coach, and Trossard’s group “can accept a player of that age.”
