Leandro Trossard’s agent Josy Comhair has said he personally offered Leondro Trossard to Premier League leaders Arsenal.
Having missed out on Mykhailo Mudryk following a protracted saga, the Gunners swiftly agreed a fee with Brighton over Trossard on Thursday.
Now, they have strengthened their squad, with Trossard adding to Arteta’s options following an injury to Gabriel Jesus.
Standard Sport understand Arsenal will pay an initial £21m for the Belgian and the deal could rise by a further £5m should various add-ons be met.
Speaking to football.london, 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.”
