Is Leandro Trossard the biggest loser in the Eberechi Eze swoop?Charles Watts thinks so. The Arsenal expert, commenting on the Belgian who, reportedly, is yet to agree terms on a new contract, suggested that the club’s decision to part ways with Trossard in favour of Eze would make sense.He told Sportsmole:“(Trossard) He’s versatile, he scores goals, he sets goals up. But if it meant you could get Eze, I think it’s an acceptable sacrifice – especially with Madueke coming in, who is going to be considered quite a lot as a left-sided option.“You’ve then got Eze if he comes in, Martinelli, Madueke… you’ve got left-sided options there, even if Trossard goes.”While he does admit:“I think Arsenal would be losing a very, very good player.”Watts concedes:“But I think what it would do to the squad, how it would change things, it would be an acceptable departure.”Trossard: the Eze casualty?From those comments, it’s hard to deny that Trossard could emerge as the biggest casualty of the Eze swoop.His greatest strength lies in his versatility and goal contributions, yet Eze offers similar qualities, and arguably more flair.Like Trossard, the Crystal Palace star is capable of playing as a No.10, out wide, or even as a false nine.Throw Mikel Merino, Declan Rice, and Noni Madueke into the equation, and Arsenal’s attacking options become a numbers game – one Trossard might not win.Even with 15 goal involvements last season, his tally may be dwarfed by a new-look frontline featuring a prolific striker (Gyokeres scored 54 goals last term) and Eze, who brings invention and end product.(Photo by Carl Recine/Getty Images)Latest on EzeAccording to Caught Offside, Arsenal are ready to offer £30 million up front for Eze, with the remaining £38 million to be paid in instalments across two years.Talks are ongoing, but Arsenal will not rush the deal. Instead, they are open to letting Palace secure a replacement first.Interestingly, the deal could be sweetened with Reiss Nelson included as part of the package. Or could a deal be done with Trossard?Despite interest from Bayern Munich and several Premier League clubs, Arsenal reportedly remain ahead in the race for Eze’s signature.What do you think Gooners? Could Trossard be the casualty?Daniel O__________________________________________________________________________________________ADMIN COMMENTSo here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans.
