Leandro Trossard, a brilliant player for Arsenal, scored the team's first goal against Wolves. According to Jamie Redknapp, the Gunners were lucky to have missed out on Mkyhailo Mudryk and instead signed Trossard, who has been exceptional since joining in January 2023 from Brighton.
Trossard's stunning strike in the 2-0 win against Wolves on Saturday night has put Arsenal back on top of the Premier League, although they have played one more game than Manchester City. His goal helped ease the team's nerves at Molineux before Martin Odegaard sealed the three points with a goal in injury time.
Although Trossard hasn't always been in Mikel Arteta's starting lineup, he has made a great impact since his arrival at the Emirates. Interestingly, he wasn't Arteta's first choice, as Arsenal had been pursuing Mudryk for several months before pulling out of the deal due to Shakhtar Donetsk's high fee demand. Eventually, Chelsea signed the Ukrainian for a whopping £88 million, but he has only managed to score six goals and make four assists in 51 appearances for the Blues.
Redknapp, a Liverpool icon, revealed on Sky Sports that Arsenal had been interested in Mudryk before he chose to join Chelsea. However, looking at their respective careers so far, it seems like Trossard has been the better signing. Redknapp also believes that Mudryk can still have a good career at Chelsea, but Trossard has proven to be a brilliant addition to the team.
The 27-year-old winger provides width and is comfortable on the ball, making him a valuable asset to the squad. He has also shown that he can score crucial goals, making him a technically gifted player who can make a difference on the field. Redknapp believes that Arsenal got a bargain by signing him for only £27 million.
Trossard's goal just before half-time against Wolves was a huge moment for Arsenal's season, although Odegaard's second goal was equally important. Speaking after the match, Trossard praised the team's resilience and character, especially after a tough loss in the previous game. He also mentioned how important it is for the team to win their remaining games and see where it takes them in the league.
Looking ahead, Arsenal and Trossard will face Chelsea and Mudryk on Tuesday night. The Gunners will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the table, while Chelsea will be hoping to close the gap. It will be an interesting match between two talented players who were both sought after by Arsenal at one point.
