Mikel Arteta confirms Arsenal role for £27m man Leandro Trossard vs Manchester United

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has declared new £27million signing Leandro Trossard "good to go" as he targets a debut for the club against Manchester United on Sunday afternoon (4.30pm).

Trossard, 28, has joined the table-topping Gunners from fellow Premier League team Brighton after netting seven goals and providing three assists in 16 appearances this season. He fell out with recently-appointed Seagulls coach Roberto De Zerbi, though, to provide the catalyst for his move to the Emirates Stadium.

Belgium international Trossard will add competition and versatility into the Arsenal attacking ranks and, according to Arteta, the player will be eligible to face United in their impending showdown. As with all signings, Trossard had to be registered by noon on Friday to feature this matchday.
