David Seaman, a former star player for Arsenal, recently shared his thoughts on the situation with Leandro Trossard, a player who has been vocal about his frustration with not being a starter for the team. Seaman's message to Trossard was simple - stop complaining and just get on with it.
Trossard, who joined Arsenal from Brighton, has often been used as a substitute and has struggled to replace Gabriel Martinelli in the starting lineup. Despite scoring a goal in their recent win over Aston Villa, Trossard made headlines for his subdued celebration, leading manager Mikel Arteta to confirm that the player was upset.
Seaman, on his Seaman Says podcast, advised Trossard to just focus on his game and not dwell on not being a starter. "I don't see what the problem is," Seaman stated, "There will always be competition for starting spots, even if the roles were reversed and Martinelli was the one coming off the bench."
The former goalkeeper also pointed out the importance of balance in the team, stating that Trossard and Martinelli offer different strengths on the left side, while the right side only has one option in Bukayo Saka.
As for why Arteta continues to choose Martinelli over Trossard, Seaman believes it is due to the credit the young player earned last season with his consistent performances. Martinelli recorded six goals and four assists in 35 Premier League games, while Trossard had 12 goals and one assist in 34 appearances.
Trossard, on the other hand, remains determined to make an impact for the team, whether it's as a starter or off the bench. After the win over Villa, he stated, "I always want to make an impact, whether it's as a starter or a substitute. I think I did my job today and helped the team, there's not much more I can do in that aspect."
