Journalist Dean Jones has stated that he doesn't think new Arsenal January signing Leandro Trossard is a particularly good deal for the club.
What’s the latest?
With the winter window now open, the Gunners have finally made their first official move bringing in the now former
Brighton and Hove Albion forward for a reported fee of £21m plus add-ons. Having missed out on primary target Mykhailo Mudryk – with the winger going to Chelsea in dramatic fashion instead – there's no denying that Trossard wasn't number one on the club's transfer list.And so, taking everything into account, Jones has suggested that the Gunners could have done better and that this sort of deal won't be a huge help in their push to win the Premier League .Indeed, while speaking on Chasing Green Arrows , he said: "I don't think this is a good signing. I don't like the money. I think the fit's okay. I think for a team that's top of the league and trying to win the Premier League - and they're in an unbelievable moment... I think it's okay if he's signed as well as somebody else.
"I don't think that, for me, Trossard is getting Arsenal over the line like a Joao Felix would have. I said on our podcast, I think I'd rather have Joao Felix for five months than I would have Leandro Trossard for five years. That's a bit controversial, I know."
