Arsenal attacker Trossard full of praise for summer signings

Arsenal attacker Leandro Trossard says their summer signings have been quick to settle in.

The Gunners have won their opening two games of the season with Declan Rice and Kai Havertz prominent. Jurrien Timber, however, has suffered an early knee injury.

“It's so much like a family," said Trossard to arsenal.com. “Once you enter the building everyone takes care of you, you can ask them whatever you want and it's a really nice feeling.

“Kai, Timber and Declan are all great additions for the squad. They all bring something and it's competitive, so everyone has to be at the top of their game to perform well. It's a really good bunch of lads and it's nice to have them here.

“Declan's a really good guy and, from the day he joined, I tried to help him to settle in. From that day we had a good connection. He's a top player but also a top guy to speak with and we get along quite good.

“He can help us in ways we didn't have before. All the players are happy with the team now. We want to win every game and that's what we're competing for.

“There's more depth and how we compete, everyone has to be at the top of their game. Otherwise, they know they won't be playing. That's how you strive for greatness. We have such a good group at the moment, not only on the field but also off the field and that helps a lot to perform.

“We will definitely add some quality in different parts of the game. I feel like we're stronger and it's a long season with the Champions League as well of course."
