Leandro Trossard says 22-year-old is the fastest player at Arsenal right now
Leandro Trossard has named who he believes is the fastest player at Arsenal right now.
Mikel Arteta’s squad certainly doesn’t lack for pace, particularly in the attacking areas.
The likes of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus all cause opposition defenders real problems with their impressive pace.
William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes aren’t exactly slow either, with attackers often struggling to outpace the Arsenal centre-backs.
But Leandro Trossard believes Martinelli is the quickest of the bunch at Arsenal.
Trossard says Martinelli is the fastest player at Arsenal
Speaking to , Trossard was asked a bunch of quickfire questions about his Arsenal teammates.
He was then quizzed on who is the fastest player in Mikel Arteta’s squad.
“I think Martinelli,” he responded.
This won’t come as a massive surprise to Arsenal fans, despite the likes of Saka and Saliba possibly running Martinelli close.
Kai Havertz has already named the 22-year-old as the Gunners’ quickest player in an interview with .
Eddie Nketiah has also previously admitted that he believes Martinelli is faster than Saka.
Martinelli hasn’t exactly been at his best this season when it comes to contributions in the final third. The Brazil star has managed just 10 goal involvements in 28 games after a slow start to the campaign.
Yet, he put in a dazzling display against Liverpool earlier this month to help Arsenal to a 3-1 win.
His blistering pace was on display that afternoon as he caused Liverpool’s backline real problems.
While Arsenal boast a squad full of fast players, it would appear that a decent part of the current squad would agree that Martinelli is the quickest of the bunch.
