Arsenal legend Ian Wright believes Leandro Trossard has all the attributes to start for the Gunners.

    An undefeated Arsenal beat Wolves by the same scoreline in their opening Premier League match of the season and the result puts Arteta’s men third in the table, behind Brighton and reigning champions Manchester City.

Trossard started on the bench, with Arteta opting for Bukayo Saka and Martinelli either side of Kai Havertz, but the Belgium international was brought on in the 65th minute as the north London outfit sought an opener.

The Belgium international came on as a 65th-minute substitute in Saturday’s 2-0 Premier League win at Aston Villa and gave his side the lead just two minutes into the game, before Thomas Partey added a second in the 77th minute.

    Wright told Premier League Productions about Trossard: “We’re talking about our best finisher. Someone who finishes off the chances he gets and who comes on and makes an impact on the game.

    “Of course we know Martinelli has great speed and when he’s on form he’s very dangerous. But what we know about Trossard is that his movement and his team-playing are excellent.”

    “We saw him come on and score goals and create ยูฟ่าเบท chances. He’s the one you look at and say, yeah, he’s going to say, ‘What do I have to do to start?'”
