Premier League giants, Arsenal have signed the Belgian player Leandro Trossard after letting Mykhailo Mudryk slip out of their hands to Chelsea earlier in a shocking transfer.
Arsenal sign Trossard
Trossard is a very appealing deal for Arsenal considering his availability due to his fall-out with Roberto De Zerbi, Brighton manager and the strain in their relationship.
Arsenal are currently the favourites to win this season of Premier League and sit pretty at the top of the table. They were entangled with Brighton in a face-paced contact throughout Thursday to secured the deal for Trossard.
Arsenal to pay $26 for Trossard
According to sources, the fee has been agreed upon by both sides and it is fixed that the Gunners will be paying Brighton an initial amount of £21 million ($26m) for the Belgian and will pay £5m ($6m) further as guaranteed add-ons.
The 28-year-old is now set to undergo a medical prior to finalizing his move to North London. The Gunners are planning to complete the transfer deal just in time for Trossard to play against Manchester United on Sunday.
However, if Arsenal plan to do that, they will have to move even faster since the required paperwork for transfer must be submitted to the Premier League officials before 12pm on Friday.
Arteta says Arsenal is strengthening
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta had spoken of strengthening his side this week and said that they want to improve this transfer window and this is the mindset of him, the coaching staff, the staff, the players, the board, and the ownership as well.
Arteta made it clear that they were all in this together and that they will do the deals that they can do and that they believe would be right for the football club.
Arsenal are now all set to clash against Manchester United this Sunday afternoon at the Emirates Stadium.
