Arsenal stars Ben White and Leandro Trossard have known each other for a long time.

The two players were teammates at Brighton and Hove Albion before they joined the Gunners, and they have always shared a great relationship on and off the pitch.

White and Trossard often come up against each other at the Sobha Realty Training Centre because of their positions, and they must have had some great battles together.

Yet, the Arsenal number four has claimed that he finds facing Trossard to be really annoying.

🤔 AGREE or DISAGREE: Leandro Trossard has been Arsenal’s most underrated player this season!

Ben White explains why facing Leandro Trossard in Arsenal training is annoying

Leandro Trossard is having a fine season at Arsenal.

There were many calls to sell the Belgian in the summer transfer window, but Mikel Arteta personally blocked Trossard from moving.

That has proved to be the right decision as the Belgian has been outstanding, having directly contributed to 15 goals in 31 appearances.

Trossard is not just great in games, but he is also excellent in training – just ask Ben White.

The England international was asked to name the ‘most annoying’ player to face in training at Arsenal every day, and he named the Belgium international.

Speaking on Men In Blazers, White said: “I’d probably say, for me, it’s Leo, just because he doesn’t ever pass the ball.

“He always wants to do something.

“You always have to be ready just in case he starts flicking and doing step-overs.”

Fill in the blank: Leandro Trossard is now worth £__m to Arsenal…

Arsenal have a big Leandro Trossard decision to make

Even though Gabriel Martinelli has been amazing for Arsenal this season, Trossard is the club’s first-choice left winger.

15 direct goal contributions in 20 starts is an incredible record, especially in a season where injuries have troubled the Belgian.

Despite his performances, Arsenal may have to consider selling Trossard at the end of the season.

The attacker is 31 already and will enter the final year of his contract in July. Furthermore, his value has never been higher since he joined the Gunners, making him a sellable asset.

With interest from Saudi Arabia expected to come in for Trossard, it would not be surprising if Arsenal decided to cash in on him for a decent sum before the start of next season.
