‘I’ve been in the Premier League for a long time and I know when someone is good. He’s better than Luiz Diaz and Jota right now. Liverpool star Muhammed Salah says ONE Arsenal player is the reason for Arsenal’s amazing success this season.
**Striking Transformations at Arsenal**
Gone are the days of Arsenal fans clamoring for a new striker. Recently, as their hopes for a Premier League title dimmed, calls for a striker echoed through the fanbase. However, since Mikel Arteta and his squad returned from the winter hiatus, their offensive prowess has surged. They’ve netted five goals against Crystal Palace, three against Liverpool, and a whopping six against West Ham United in their latest fixture.
Leading this charge is Leandro Trossard, who has found the net three times in this span. Tim Sherwood, speaking to Premier League Productions, lauds him as a ‘fantastic addition for Arsenal’. Trossard, a £27 million acquisition, arrived at the Emirates in January, amidst strong speculation linking Arsenal to Mykhailo Mudryk. Yet, they opted for the Brighton player.
Since then, Trossard has amassed an impressive tally of 10 goals and 12 assists across 50 appearances in all competitions, overshadowing Mudryk’s four goals and five assists in 42 outings for Chelsea.
Tim Sherwood draws parallels between Trossard and Diogo Jota, noting Arsenal’s acquisition of their own versatile attacker. With Trossard’s efficiency and willingness to step up when needed, Arsenal’s frontline gains a dynamic edge.
Belgian forward Trossard has undoubtedly secured his place in Mikel Arteta’s starting eleven. Sherwood further emphasizes Trossard’s impact, favoring him over Havertz in the same role, highlighting his knack for finishing and game-changing contributions.
In Sherwood’s eyes, Trossard possesses traits akin to Jota: not as clinical, but impactful nonetheless. His ability to both create and score goals cements his value to Arsenal’s lineup. In conclusion, Trossard’s emergence signals a promising shift in Arsenal’s attacking dynamics under Arteta’s guidance.
