£26m Arsenal player is clearly pushing for a starting spot vs Brighton as training footage emerges

Arsenal will now turn their attention towards facing Brighton next in the Premier League with both sides putting their unbeaten records on the line.

The Gunners♒ are yet to really be at their best in the first two ꦰgames but they’ve found a way to win matches, with successive 2-0 wins over both Wolves and Aston Villa.

Mikel Arteta has already had an injury worry to one of his stars as Gabriel Jesus picked up a groin injury which saw him miss the Aston Villa game. However, it’s better news than most fans may have expected as Jesus’ injury is not thought to be serious.

He’s not the only Brazilian who hasn’t enjoyed a very successful start to the season as Jay 🉐൩Bothroyd says he doesn’t think Gabriel Martinelli deserves to be playing.

Leandro Trossard has been unlucky not to start after changing the game against Wolves and scoring Arsenal’s first against Aston Villa. This has led to Trossard speaking out about his lack of minutes.

However, the Belgian won’t have to wait much longer for a start if the recent training footage on is anything to go 𒁃by…

Leandro Trossard on fire in Arsenal training ahead of Brighton clash in the Premier League

In the footage Trossard can be seen scoring three goals that any player would b🔜e proud of. He chips the goalkeeper with a cheeky dink, smashes one into the roof of the net from the tightest of angles and effortlessly curls one into the top corner from long range.

It doesn’t stop there as he also shows glimpses of brilliance with the ball at his feet, as well as winning the bal𒆙l back.

Ian ♌Wright even labelled Trossard aꦡs the ‘big difference’ for Arsenal against Aston Villa las✃t time out, so he certainly seems to have his backing.

What does Mikel Arteta think of Leandro Trossard?

Mikel Arteta came out and called the Bel🐽gian ‘unbelievable’ after the Villa game.

“Leo has the ability to change the game. His end product is unb🍌elievable,” he said.

“I think he had twܫo shots, two gre𝔉at balls in the box. That could have been another goal or two.”

Of course, no one can categorically say the £26 million man is going to start against the Seagulls at the weekend but one things🐼 tha⛄t is for certain is he can’t physically do anything more, it’s now up to Arteta.
