Mikel Arteta’s passionate Leandro Trossard message after Arsenal star subject of Saudi bid
Mikel Arteta has sent a message of support to Arsenal star Leandro Trossard.
The Belgium international has struggled for opportunities with the Gunners so far this season, playing 94 minutes over the course of three Premier League matches. However, his goal against Aston Villa highlighted the quality that he can add to the Arsenal frontline.
Arteta has consistently kept the faith in Gabriel Martinelli on the left wing though, despite his lack of consistency in the final third which has spanned beyond the start of the campaign. But Trossard has been told that he remains a key player at the Emirates Stadium.
Speaking ahead of the Gunners’ clash with fierce rivals Tottenham on Sunday, Arteta was asked whether Trossard was reliant on other players being absent to play regularly for Arenal, to which he replied: “I don’t think Leo needs any injury to shine.
“He has earned the right, with performances and the way he has conducted himself in any scenario, to have a very important role in the team. He’s a crucial player for us.”
