Arsenal have a track record of producing technically adept players, and Mikel Arteta has weighed in on whether current forward Leandro Trossard is comparable to former ace Santi Cazorla in that regard.Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has quipped that before comparing Leandro Trossard to Gunners hero Santi Cazorla, he must observe him taking corners with his left foot.

Trossard, who joined the north Londoners in January after making the move from Brighton, has emerged as a pillar of strength and has since been compared to Cazorla, a favorite of Emirates supporters. Unquestionably, both of their games share characteristics such as a low center of gravity and extraordinary dribbling ability.Also this season, Trossard has scored an increased number of goals. At this time, the Belgium international has scored five goals in total across all competitions, with two in the Champions League and three coming from domestic sources.

 


Trossard has scored at least one goal with his right foot, one with his left foot, and another with his head among these five. Due to the fact that he is so at ease with the ball at both feet, Arteta was queried as to which former Gunner Cazorla player is more proficient with both feet.

 

The Spaniard quipped, “I must observe Leo take a corner with his left foot.” “Perhaps when he completes that action!” “He is tremendous, but Santi was exceptional.”

 

Arteta was equally effusive regarding Trossard, providing an ecstatic response when queried about the Belgian’s ranking among his finest acquisitions. Arsenal acquired his signature for an initial payment of £20 million, with a subsequent increase anticipated to £27 million.

 

“While lacking expertise as a financial advisor or club economist, I must say that he is an exceptional player possessing remarkable intelligence and aptitude to execute our desired style of play. Ours is an exceptional alignment with him.

 

“One of the primary reasons we signed him was for that reason.” To begin with, he has league experience and has completed tasks that he has previously completed in the league. We had numerous issues on the front lines in January, and he was able to address those urgent matters in a highly effective manner. He has demonstrated that he is capable of doing so.Due to his versatility in the front line, Trossard has filled in for Gabriel Martinelli on the left flank and led the line when Gabriel Jesus was unavailable. There is a strong possibility that he will be utilized in Arsenal’s upcoming Champions League match against Lens at home.
