Former West Ham and Aston Villa midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker has commented on the Leandro Trossard to Arsenal transfer saga as the Brighton winger closes in on a move to the Emirates Stadium.
The Belgium international has had a fine season in the Premier League and looks like just what Arsenal need in attack right now, with Mikel Arteta’s side lacking depth up front after the injury to Gabriel Jesus, and the departures of players like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette and Nicolas Pepe in the last year or so.
Still, Reo-Coker seems to be questioning the Trossard deal, suggesting the way he’s gone about his departure from Brighton might mean he’s not the ideal fit for Arteta’s dressing room…

Arsenal fans will surely be excited by the prospect of Trossard joining, but Reo-Coker does make a good point about the 28-year-old’s character.
Arteta has done well to build a strong team spirit at Arsenal, and it might backfire bringing in a slightly disruptive and outspoken player in the middle of the season when the last thing the club needs is to undo all the good work that’s been done.
Players also have say so it is not just playing only they are human beings may be be over stayed after Belgium was eliminated the coach will not be happy that can led to misunderstanding that will result both being unhappy so Arteta go for him he is good
Arsenal will terminate his contact swiftly since his not a huge pay package.
Good signing. Proven record in the Premier League, technically excellent and suits Arteta’s system well. Fair point about possible attitude issues, but I can only imagine that Arteta and Trossard understand clearly what is required. That conversation would have been had before any money was on the table. After all, Arteta does not tolerate bad behavior. Look at Aubameyang. He can handle big calls and keep the dressing room on side.
You think Arteta didn’t ask Benjamin White what kind of guy Trossard is? Idiotic article
😂😂😂😂😂✌️✌️
Haha😂
Very possible my brother
Good
players are still human beings. it might been a little misunderstanding magnified by the new manager as a stamp on his sense of discipline
We need backup of thomas party and xaka just only we will be 2023/24 champions.
Regardless,this guy is good for us he knows very well how Arteta works,he doesn’t tolerate ibdisciplines,hope he came to arsenal knowing what is required from him!
Wait for arteta on the field to see
