Arsenal may feel as though they got the better end of the bargain by missing out on Mykhaylo Mudryk in January with Leandro Trossard impressing in Mikel Arteta’s system. The Gunners are once again flying high at the top of the table and head into the international break just one point behind league leaders Manchester City.<\/p>\n

Bukayo Saka has been Arsenal’s main man again with the winger scoring six goals and providing eight assists in all competitions. But it was Trossard who helped Arsenal clinch all three points against Burnley on Saturday in what proved to be a tricky match for Arteta’s side.<\/p>\n

The Belgian put his body on the line for Arsenal’s opening goal before the break as he crashed into the woodwork. He was able to continue in the second half and it was his delivery from a corner that led to William Saliba restoring Arsenal’s lead before Oleksandr Zinchenko made sure of all three points for Arsenal later in the half.<\/p>\n

It’s Trossard’s goal threat that may please Arteta the most though with the winger now level with Saka as the club’s highest scorer this season with six. He’s popped up with some important goals in the league, including the winner against Everton in September.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old has shown his versatility by playing through the middle as well to give Arteta another option up front. In game against Sevilla and Burnley this week, Trossard’s work up front has helped bring the best out of Saka.<\/p>\n

Trossard attracts more attention from defenders due to his movement, opening up space for Saka to exploit down the right wing. It could have all been different for Arsenal in January though has Arteta got his top target Mudryk instead of Trossard.<\/p>\n
