New Arsenal signing Leandro Trossard has explained his preferred position ahead of a potential debut against Manchester United this weekend. The Belgian was announced as a new addition to the squad on Friday afternoon, signing from Brighton for an initial £21million, with add-ons included.
With a huge clash against Manchester United at the weekend, it remains to be seen if he was registered in time, with the deadline for registration set at 12pm on the Friday. As part of his announcement, Arsenal had written: "All documents have been submitted and we’re hoping Leandro will be eligible for selection for our match against Manchester United on Sunday."
Manager Mikel Arteta seemed confident that the 28-year-old would be involved ahead of the clash: "Yes I think it is, I think he’s good to go. We are really happy to have him. He’s a player we followed for a while. The opportunity came and we had the necessity for a player in the front line who is versatile enough to play different positions. He knows the league, he has enough experience here and I think he can have an immediate impact on the team.""
