Leandro Trossard is seen as Arsenal’s Plan B after they failed to add Mykhailo Mudryk to their squad in the January transfer window.
They had spent all January trying to buy the Ukrainian, but Chelsea stole a march on them and sealed the deal.
After turning to Trossard, some Arsenal fans were not pleased that the Belgian joined their club instead.
However, the former Brighton man is outperforming Mudryk since they both moved to London clubs at the start of this year.
Talk Sport revealed some stats about their seasons so far and Mudryk has five Premier League appearances, including two starts, but has zero goals and assists to his name.
Trossard has made six Arsenal appearances, including two starts and has a goal and an assist for the Gunners.
The Belgian has also created four chances, while Mudryk has created zero and has completed more dribbles (7) than Mudryk (2).
Just Arsenal Opinion
Sometimes your Plan B turns out to be a blessing and that has been the case for Arsenal so far.
Trossard deserves credit for how he has performed so far and we hope he keeps improving because we need that before this season finishes.

Wow, player signs for a club in a foreign country and struggles. Bergkamp and Henry ring any bells ?
Definitely looks sharp and a better short term deal by all imagination, only time will tell if Mudryk will be that good to win the player of the year award in the future.
Congrats Arteta and Edu,very clever guys indeed,why spend 100m on one player when you can use it wisely to buy a whole team?and that was wengers style too.
Chelsea are not the only Club to pay way over the odds for a player.Mustafi and Pepe are two that spring to mind at Arsenal, and having seen Mudryk perform for his Country I have no doubt that he will prove himself in the EPL.The fact that we refused to be conned by Shaktar Donetz suggests we have learned from previous errors of judgement and have become more competent when it comes to acquisitions.Long may this continue.
👍 Grandad, there is little doubt yhat Arsenal are now more savvy in the market, refusing to pay over the odds of the Club’s valuation.
Trossard and Jorginho are EPL proven players, who have minimal adaptation concerns, ready to contribute from day 1. Even so they have allowed transfer savings to be spent on further strengthening of the Arsenal squad.
what has happened to mudryk is exactly why i didnt care when he joined chelsea. he wont get the necessary attention there and wont reach his full potential. Arteta wanted him for very specific reasons and saw how to utilize them. He’s now just another player on big money who is lost at the club . Dont think that guy has smiled once since joining Chelsea.
40m two players who are making positive head line every week for Arsenal but as for Chelsea one player 100m with negative head line every week. congs MA and EDU job well done no panic buy and no over pay. We have to continue buying right players at the right price at the right time.
👍
Congrats to Mikel only that he need to rest Saka in son matches at least to play a mind game on defenders because most of defenders are on him too much
I believe Mudryk would have a wonderful game at Asernal than at Chelsea but it’s a choice behind us now. As the summer transfer beakons, the focus on calling in Declan Rise,caicedo, Julian Brandt of Borussia Dortmund could be a move in the right direction. I really don’t think Asernal need the likes of Gundogan.Shouldn’t look like Asernal is the dumping site for the ageing in Man City. Arteta can sell the rumoured five and rise to the occasion for a big catch
He came in at Arsenal and fit in without any time wasted. He’s an Arsenal player.
Trossad has been a revelation. Seamless integration.
That’s much better.
That’s how we want it. 100m can buy 3 quality players that can make a team.
