Ian Wright praises 'invaluable' Arsenal transfer as Edu proven right amid Mudryk back-up plan

Ian Wright has heaped praise on Leandro Trossard for his impressive performance in Arsenal's win over Fulham. The 28-year-old provided assists for each of the Gunners' three goals at Craven Cottage, becoming the first player in Premier League history to achieve such feat in the first-half at an away ground.

Trossard delivered the corner which saw Gabriel Magalhaes give Arsenal the lead, before supplying Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard later in the tie. Trossard, who moved to the Emirates Stadium from Brighton in January for £21million, could have registered a fourth assist had Granit Xhaka not taken a heavy touch.

The Belgium international has hit the ground running at the north London outfit despite having been a backup option to Mykhailo Mudryk, who opted to join Chelsea instead. Speaking on Premier League Productions, Wright waxed lyrical about Trossard, labelling the forward as an 'unbelievable addition' to Mikel Arteta's side.
