Roy Keane and Ian Wright agree on Leandro Trossard amid January signing's first Arsenal start

Arsenal January signing Leandro Trossard was heaped with praise for his full debut against Manchester City in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Friday night. The Belgian made the switch from Brighton last week as the first signing of the window, joining on an initial £21million fee.

The move adds much-needed quality in depth for the Gunners in the midst of a Premier League title race, sitting top of the table and five points clear of City with a game in hand. The 28-year-old could be that extra body needed to help push them over the line in the latter half of the campaign.

"He is a versatile player with high technical ability, intelligence and a great deal of experience in the Premier League and at international level," Mikel Arteta said on his new addition. "Leandro strengthens our squad as we head into the second part of the season and we’re all looking forward to working with him."
