The agent of Brighton attacker Leandro Trossard has praised Arsenal for their transfer swoop.

Having missed out on Mykhailo Mudryk following a protracted saga, the Gunners swiftly agreed a fee with Brighton over a deal for the 28-year-old on Thursday.

The signing of a new wide forward was something Mikel Arteta prioritised this month as he bids to end Arsenal's 19-year long wait for a League title.

Speaking to football.london, Josy Comhair said: “I personally offered Leo to Arsenal. This is the most beautiful club for him and the football they're playing suits him perfectly.

“The deal took 48hrs which shows how much Arsenal wanted him."
