How Arsenal could line up against Man Utd with Leandro Trossard in line for debut after completing £27m transfer
ARSENAL have found an alternative for Mykhailo Mudryk after signing Leandro Trossard.
The Gunners completed a deal for the Belgian winger that saw him leave Brighton for £27million.
The deal came about after the international fell out with Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi.
He was in the last six months of his contract, although the Seagulls had the option to extend it by a further year.
Trossard will give manager Mikel Arteta options to play down the left wing of his side.
During his time at the Amex, the 28-year-old mostly played on the left forward position and he could do the same at Arsenal.
Arteta, could easily use Trossard in a forward three on the left side of Eddie Nketiah in the striker position.
His stronger foot is his right foot, this means that he often cuts inside to shoot at goal.
Another option Arteta would have with Trossard is to use him as a left-wing-back.
Although he prefers to be further up the pitch, under former boss Graham Potter, he often excelled in the position.

Trossard was able to overlap attacking midfielders and arrive late into the box for goalscoring chances.
Some of his best form for Brighton came in this way, as seen in last season’s wins over Tottenham and Arsenal.
Although the winger was never the most prolific player he often shone in the big matches.
In the Premier League, Trossard has scored 25 goals, 13 of which have come against the ‘Big Six’.
The 27-year-old will be able to make his debut for the club against Manchester United on Sunday.
