"What a baller" "He's that guy" - Arsenal fans hail attacker as Mikel Arteta's best-ever signing after magnificent performance against Barcelona
Arsenal fans expressed their admiration for Belgian winger Leandro Trossard following the side's 5-3 win over Barcelona in a pre-season fixture. Gunners' supporters lauded the attacker's finishing abilities as he bagged two goals in the second half.
Some of the fans believe that Trossard was the best signing made by Mikel Arteta. The 28-year-old arrived at the Emirates Stadium in January 2023 from Brighton and Hove Albion for £27 million after the Gunners were leapfrogged in their pursuit of Mykhailo Mudryk by Chelsea.
Here are some fan reactions on Trossard's performance against Barcelona:
Trossard is making a case to be a regular starter in the Premier League for Arsenal. Since his arrival in the winter window, the Belgian has bagged one goal and 10 assists for the side. He has proven to be a reliable option for Arteta after Gabriel Martinelli suffered an ankle injury late last season.
The Gunners were comfortable and dominant in their 5-3 victory over Barcelona. Trossard's brace was complemented by goals from Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz and Fabio Vieira. They will face AS Monaco next before playing Manchester City in the Community Shield.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has urged fans to stay calm about the performance of their new signings. Supporters expressed concern over a lack of physicality after the Gunners lost 2-0 to Manchester United, where the Spaniard played new signings Declan Rice and Kai Havertz alongside Martin Odegaard in a 4-3-3.
