Arsenal star reveals how Mudryk’s collapsed deal put his football career on the right path

Arsenal star has opened up on how Mykhailo Mudryk's hijacked transfer move by Chelsea helped his career move to the Gunners.

Leandro Trossard joined Arsenal in January 2022 after the Gunners failed to seal a transfer deal for Ukrainian winger Mudryk.

Mudryk eventually left for Chelsea who hijacked the deal from the Gunner with a massive £88 million bid. 

With Arsenal losing out on Mudryk, they made a move on another option in Trossard who later became one of the fan's favourites at the Emirates.

According to reports from Daily Mail, the 29-year-old said, “I didn’t think about what was going on before me.

“They (Arsenal) made it very clear to me that they wanted me after the thing with Mudryk and yeah, I was happy to join.

“I had a good chat with Mikel. He gave me the plan about how it would go, and it just started to click straight away.

“Not just with my performances on the pitch but off the pitch as well, I think there’s a really good vibe. Players are amazing off the pitch, how they welcome you, so it came straight away.”

Trossard finished the previous season as Arsenal's second-highest goal scorer with 19 goals in all competitions.

He will be looking to help the Gunners win the title next season after seeing them finish second behind Man City twice.
