Leandro Trossard Joins Arsenal From Brighton For £27m

Brighton & Hove Albion winger, Leandro Trossard, has joined the current Premier League leaders, Arsenal, from Brighton.

Arsenal who paid Brighton the sum of £27 million for the services of Leandro Trossard had said the winger might not be ready early enough to face Manchester United on Saturday.

The Belgian international is the Gunners’ first signing of the January transfer window.

Since Arsenal missed out on Mykhailo Mudryk, the team’s coach Mikel Arteta has been working hard to improve the depth of his frontline.

At the Emirates, Trossard will don the No. 19 jersey, which has previously been worn by Nicolas Pepe, Bernd Leno, Jack Wilshere, Santi Cazorla, and Bernd Leno.
