Arsenal fans have been made to wait but after 20 days of the January transfer window being open, they finally have their first new signing to shout about. Leandro Trossard was confirmed as a new Gunners player on Friday afternoon, joining from Brighton in a deal worth an initial £21million plus add-ons.
The Belgian was ecstatic about the move, telling the official Arsenal website: "I'm really excited to get started, this is a big club and I'm ready to show the fans what I can do. Everyone has seen how well we're doing already and I'm here to help achieve their dreams - including myself.
"I'm going to take it day by day, work hard and try to help the team to achieve their goals. [I want to] get better as well. I know the manager is a great coach and I hope to be involved in doing great things and getting better as a player in every aspect."
