BREAKING: Arsenal close to completing the signing of Leandro Trossard

Leandro Trossard is reportedly close to joining Arsenal Football Club in a deal that would see the 28-year-old Belgian international join the Gunners in this 2022 January transfer window.

The news comes after weeks of speculation linking Trossard to Arsenal, with the winger having impressed for Brighton & Hove Albion this season. He has scored seven goals and provided three assists in the appearances that he has featured for the Seagulls this season.

Trossard has long been linked with a move to the Premier League league leaders but they haven’t been alone as he has also been previously linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur who are Arsenal’s arch rivals. However, it appears that Arsenal have won the race for his signature as a report by transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that the gunners had agreed personal terms with him, and that only thing left was for Arsenal, and Brighton & Hove Albion to reach an agreement on the fee.

Trossard is expected to provide Arsenal with an attacking option on the wing, with the club currently lacking quality in wide areas on the bench. His ability to cut inside and create chances for his teammates makes him an attractive option for Arsenal.
