Leandro Trossard is quickly becoming a real hit in the red half of north London after a stunning start to life at Arsenal.
The midfielder completed a move to the Emirates Stadium during January, arriving from Brighton for a fee of £27million.

The midfielder bagged three assists against Fulham, taking his total to five for the Gunners
At the time it wasn’t clear exactly where he would fit into Mikel Arteta’s plans, but it’s safe to say that he’s slotted into life under the Spaniard seamlessly.
Since joining the club, the 28-year-old has already scored one goal and bagged five assists along the way, including a stunning performance against London rivals Fulham on Sunday.
With Arsenal claiming a crucial 3-0 win to take them five points clear at the top of the table, it was Trossard who bagged all three assists to help Gabriel Magalhaes, Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard onto the scoresheet.
During his time at Brighton, Trossard was always slightly more successful at scoring himself rather than teeing up his teammates, but it seems that the Belgian star is relishing being part of a truly successful team.
Trossard took to Instagram after the victory with a cheeky caption about his new role, saying: “Hi, how may I assist you?” with a winking emoji.
It’s safe to say that his teammates are appreciating his efforts too.

Smith Rowe, Odegaard, Saliba and Martinelli were all among the teammates to hail him on social media.
Replying to his post, Emile Smith Rowe responded with two fire emojis, while Gabriel Martinelli added a heart and clapping hands emoji.
Meanwhile club captain Martin Odegaard and William Saliba commented, describing him as a ‘baller’.”
With 11 matches left of the season, Arsenal are sitting firmly in the driving seat regarding the Premier League title race.
However with Manchester City breathing down their necks, the focus will be on ensuring that their match-winners show up week after week to get them over the line to win their first league title in 19 years.
