TRANSFER: Arsenal Signs Trossard From Brighton On A Long-term Deal

Arsenal has completed the signing of Belgium international Leandro Trossard from Brighton & Hove Albion on a long-term contract.

The 28-year-old winger represented Belgium at the recent World Cup in Qatar and has earned 24 caps for his country.

Leandro started his career in the youth academy at Genk in 2010, before quickly developing into the first-team squad.

At Genk, he made 120 appearances, before embarking on successful loan spells with Lommel United, Westerlo and OH Leuven in the early development stages of his career.

Leandro joined Brighton in June 2019 and quickly became an integral part of the team, making 121 appearances for the Seagulls.

The winger has scored seven goals from his 16 Premier League appearances this season, including a hat-trick against Liverpool at Anfield in October before scoring the 100th goal of his club career at Manchester City in the Premier League.

Sporting Director Edu said: “We’re delighted to have completed the signing of Leandro Trossard. We have a clear plan and strategy for our direction, and it’s been a great team effort in bringing Leandro to the club.”

Manager Mikel Arteta added: “It is good work from everyone at the club to complete the signing of Leandro. He is a versatile player with high technical ability, intelligence and a great deal of experience in the Premier League and at international level.”
