This season, Leandro Trossard has shown Former Arsenal and Manchester United stars, Theo Walcott and Wayne Rooney that they were mistaken.

Trossard delivered another excellent performance, assisting Arsenal in their 3-1 Champions League victory over Inter.

With a difficult victory at the San Siro, Gabriel Jesus netted a goal that contributed to the Gunners’ flawless Champions League record. The result also guaranteed that Mikel Arteta’s squad would finish in the group stage’s top two.

After some uncertainty about his future at Arsenal earlier in the summer, Trossard is maintaining his good performance.

Walcott expressed his astonishment at Trossard’s performance this season and acknowledged that he had been wrong to believe that Trossard was a player Arteta should aim to replace. The former Arsenal winger also conceded this error.

Walcott said on Amazon Prime, “There were rumors about Leandro Trossard and Martinelli possibly leaving the team.

“That was a role I thought might be open, but they’ve shown me otherwise. Both of them have really improved their performance, and they are both competing in a positive and healthy way.

“It’s like a friendly competition where everyone wants to do better than the others, but in a positive way. Leandro Trossard is the player I’ve really been impressed with because he’s different from all the other players they have on the left side.

“Martinelli has speed, and that’s something you can’t take from him. But Leandro knows how to find open space, and what I really admire about him is how calm he stays.

“You’re not sure exactly what to expect from him, and he’s been so consistent, which is really surprising.”

When asked about Trossard’s performances this season, Rooney responded, “I think Trossard, as Theo said, has done a great job this season and he’s a tough player to defend against.

“He moves into the ten position, sometimes he stays on the wide side. He can play with both feet and has scored a lot of goals, so I think he has been really good.”

Arsenal demonstrated again how deep their squad is, with Declan Rice, Gabriel Martinelli, and Gyokeres all coming on as substitutes in the second half to help secure the victory.
