Bold transfer move pays off for Stan Kroenke and Arsenal as Chelsea face embarrassment

It isn't lost on Arsenal fans that Leandro Trossard has a better record at the club than Mykhailo Mudryk has since he joined Chelsea in January. The dramatic turnaround from being in pole position to complete a deal for the 22-year-old just to be pipped to the post by the Blues was deeply enfuriating for supporters but they're the ones laughing now.

Trossard has already opened his account for the Gunners and has two assists in his first nine games as well. His first start to life in London has been born out of an easy transition to his new club. Nor does he not have to worry about adapting to a fresh league and he isn't situated far from home either.

Mudryk, on the other hand, has moved from turmoil in Ukraine and uncertainty over his future to a new city, foreign land and unforgiving league. He has also had the added trouble of coming into a deeply unsettled team whereas Trossard has been intergrated into a side challenging for the title.
