Leandro Trossard admits being surprised at Arsenal after Mikel Arteta warning

Leandro Trossard has admitted that he is surprised at how much he has played for Arsenal since completing his £27million January switch.

The versatile Belgian forward, 28, joined the Gunners from Brighton after the Londoners failed to strike a deal with Shakhtar Donetsk for their primary target, Mykhaylo Mudryk. But while Mudryk has failed to shine since signing for Chelsea in a blockbuster £87m deal, Trossard has gone on to make a major impression at the Emirates.

While deputising for the injured Eddie Nketiah as a false nine in recent weeks, Trossard has scored once and clocked up six assists to keep the Gunners' title bid on track - including a remarkable hat-trick of assists in the comprehensive 3-0 win over Fulham earlier this month.
