Arsenal appear to be a club that can do no wrong lately.
Mikel Arteta added the finishing touches to his squad that would finally facilitate his philosophy by recruiting well in the summer market. Then they would go on a stunning run that has them eight points clear at the top with only nine games remaining.
This continued good form was only bolstered by another flawless transfer window in January, when the Emirates welcomed three new players.
In an unprecedented move, the club identified its flaws and spent only what was necessary to strengthen them.
While Jorginho has been a consistent presence in the dressing room, Leandro Trossard has understandably stolen the show. In no time, the Belgian has established himself as a key player in this team’s creative endeavors.
After signing from Brighton and Hove Albion and shining with such finesse, this has unsurprisingly seen a significant increase in value.
What is the current market value of Leandro Trossard?
With the 28-year-old looking to force a move away from the south coast club, the Gunners were eager to take on such a talented player. They paid an initial £21 million to secure his services, as good news continued to pour into north London.
With ten goal contributions to his name prior to the move, it was expected that he would struggle to adjust to the massive step up that a title race would demand.
However, with eight more goals in just 11 league games for Arsenal, it is clear that he has risen to the occasion with ease.
On Twitter, broadcast journalist Buchi Laba praised the £40k-per-week maestro, writing: “Man is Jesus Esque. A creative Machine that makes things easy for his teammates.”
The rate at which his value has risen only adds to his ever-increasing importance to this team. Given the initial fee paid, CIES Football Observatory suggests that this figure has already risen to €35 million (£31 million), a £10 million increase in just three months.
With the Belgian magician only now entering his peak years, it bodes extremely well for both the player and the club’s immediate future. Trossard brings experience to this exceptional young team, and he has been invaluable to Arteta.
His value is likely to skyrocket if his performances continue in the same vein, which will almost certainly result in more silverware for the Gunners.
