Stan Kroenke Arsenal transfer gamble hailed after Mykhailo Mudryk blow

Arsenal completed the signing of Leandro Trossard in January after failing to land Mykhailo Mudryk. The Gunners paid £21million for the Belgian's services and the move has, so far, paid off.

Trossard was signed as competition to Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli in Mikel Arteta's attacking ranks after Emile Smith Rowe's injury concerns. The 28-year-old was the first of three new faces through the door last month, with Jakub Kiwior and Jorginho arriving late in the transfer window.

Both Trossard and Jorginho have played important roles in Arsenal's two recent wins over Aston Villa and Leicester City despite initial concerns over their arrivals. The pair arrived after Edu and Arteta failed to sign their two preferred targets in Mudryk and Moises Caicedo.
