Arsenal winger Leandro Trossard has now been discussing his blossoming relationship with Bukayo Saka at Arsenal.

Speaking to Arsenal’s official website, Trossard was discussing a peculiar stat in which Saka has assisted all of his goals at the club thus far.

And when questioned on the partnership, the Belgian felt the need to jovially promise that he’s not ignoring passes from his other teammates.

Trossard said: “I get along with B really well.

“It’s not that I ignore passes from other players, it’s just a coincidence, but I always try to get in the right positions and it’s B who sets up my goals. I’m sure there will be someone else in the next games or I will be assisting other players.

“The character, B is such a lovely guy and always down to earth. You can speak to him about everything. It’s nice chatting to him.”

Of course, Trossard nearly had his first goal that wasn’t assisted by Saka on Saturday for Arsenal.

The winger showed great anticipation and courage to nod home a saved effort from Gabriel Jesus – only to see VAR intervene with a tight offside call. 

Leandro Trossard says he has a brilliant relationship with Bukayo Saka at Arsenal

Considering the performance at Brentford, it may have been a frustration for £26m Trossard that he wasn’t able to continue as a false nine.

Trossard played on the left side of Arsenal’s midfield three, a position much like a number eight.

And it was slightly difficult to judge the Belgian’s impact given just how little space Brentford were leaving between the lines.

Perhaps that will be an experiment that Arsenal fans are treated to again in the near future, especially with such a busy fixture list.

But it is understandable why Mikel Arteta wants all of Trossard, Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli starting in the same Arsenal team.

Arsenal have been slightly lacking in their creativity, and with a much improved foundation behind the team, Arteta can afford to take some risks.

And part of that freedom is owed to a defender who Kevin Campbell now believes is slightly more integral than William Saliba.
