Arsenal defender William Saliba expressed his appreciation for the outstanding performance of a £26 million star in a recent match against Chelsea. Saliba credited this player, who isn’t Declan Rice or Bukayo Saka, with being the standout player in the game.
The player in question is Leandro Trossard, the Belgian winger, who entered the game in the 78th minute and quickly made a significant impact by providing the equalizing goal. Trossard shared his excitement on Instagram after the game, posting pictures and the caption “Never count us out.”
This sentiment was echoed by his teammates, including William Saliba, Declan Rice, and Takehiro Tomiyasu. They all praised Trossard for his deft finish that helped Arsenal salvage a point against Chelsea.
Despite a rare off day for Mikel Arteta’s team at Stamford Bridge, they managed to maintain their unbeaten record in the league. The comeback against Chelsea seemed to have boosted their confidence ahead of a crucial match in Seville.
Unai Emery, a former Arsenal manager, is likely keeping a close eye on Arsenal’s European fortunes as they prepare for a high-stakes Champions League match. Emery has praised Mikel Arteta’s work as his successor at Arsenal.
With Bukayo Saka’s exceptional performance and delightful assist, he appears to be a key player for Arsenal. However, the introduction of rotation might benefit Gabriel Martinelli’s injury comeback, as it seemed that Arteta’s selection against Chelsea didn’t quite hit the mark.
Oleksandr Zinchenko had a challenging 45 minutes in the game and could be at risk of losing his regular starting position. Arteta now faces the dilemma of determining Trossard’s starting role in the team after his impactful performance against Chelsea.
