The supporters were impressed by the club’s capture of the Belgian winger for much less than what the Ukrainian would have cost

Arsenal fans in South Africa have expressed their excitement at the signing of Belgian winger Leandro Trossard who completed his move on Friday.

Trossard has joined the Gunners from Premier League rivals Brighton and Hove Albion for £20 million, rising to £7 million in add-ons, and is set to bolster Mikel Arteta’s attack after missing out on Ukrainian Mykhailo Mudryk who joined Chelsea, having looked set for Arsenal.

Supporters feel Arsenal have actually got a better deal from the Belgian who is Premier League proven and cost much less than the nearly £90 million that Chelsea had to pay for Mudryk to ‘steal’ him from the North London club.

    Spending £30m on a proven Premier League talent and not £100m on a Ukrainian that nobody knew a month ago. Chelsea are actually finished. -@taylorsheltoon

    A player who can fit in the system

  • Leandro Trossard Brighton

    Could be key in midfield

    I don’t think [Mikel] Arteta plans to use Trossard as a wide player for long. I can see him converting into a central midfielder much like Bernardo Silva did at Manchester City. Would love to see him playing the role that [Granit] Xhaka currently is for us. He would be a much-needed creative link between [Oleksandr] Zinchenko and Gabriel Martinelli. -@Mad4Mullah

  • Leandro Trossard Brighton 2022-23

    Genius from Arsenal

    I imagine how good Leandro Trossard is and he makes this move for this amount. Wow! A quarter of what Chelsea spent on Mykhailo Mudryk. This is genius. -@SurajBRanga2
