Arsenal boss Arteta: What I like most about Trossard

Manager Mikel Arteta lavished praise on new Arsenal signing Leandro Trossard.

The Belgian winger has arrived from Brighton this January to increase squad depth.

Trossard made his debut in the win over Manchester United on Sunday, coming off the bench for the latter stages of the contest.

"That's what I like about him, I see a player who is willing to make things happen and he's really composed, especially in the final third," Arteta said when asked about Trossard's role in Arsenal beating United.

"And it is something that we needed to add to the team and straight away, he had a beautiful impact on the team to help us to win. Obviously, we have the two more recruits we made in this window.

"If anything else is available that can make us better, we'll look at it. We need some more cover in midfield ideally if we can, but in this market it is pretty complicated to do that.

"As I always say, the most important thing is that we get the performances and the time on the pitch that we need with the players that we have available today that are already really good."
