Trossard says Arsenal Exit was never on the cards


Belgian striker Leandro Trossard said there was never any question of him leaving Arsenal at the start of the season, despite speculation of a move away from the club.

Trossard joined the London Club from Brighton & Hove Albion in 2023 and has made 97 Premier League appearances for them, scoring 21 goals.

«There are always such rumours. Leaving has never really been an option. I feel very good in Arsenal,» he told a press conference on Tuesday as Belgium started their preparations for a World Cup qualifier at home to North Macedonia on Friday.

«At the beginning of the season I was struggling a bit with an injury. I think those rumors came about because of the lack of minutes.»

Trossard has fought his way back into the Premier League leaders’ team.

“I’ve had some good weeks, both individually and with Arsenal,” he added. “I am finally a fit footballer again, a player in top form. I am very happy with that.

«I’ve played a lot in recent weeks, I’ve done my thing and I feel good about it.»

Belgium have two decisive games this week with the match against North Macedonia, followed by a trip to Cardiff to take on Wales.

«It’s up to us to win on Friday and go to Wales with a good feeling,» Trossard said. «North Macedonia also has quality. We can’t underestimate them, so we have to try to kill the game as quickly as possible. If we believe in it, it will happen.»
