Leandro Trossard has completed two full years at Arsenal.

The Belgium international joined the Gunners from Brighton and Hove Albion in January 2023, and he will play his 100th game as a Gunner against Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday night.

Over those two years, Trossard has played with several Arsenal players.

From experienced stars like Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice to teenagers like Ethan Nwaneri, he has rubbed shoulders with top talents at Arsenal.

Trossard has now had his say on one of them.

Leandro Trossard delivers verdict on Arsenal youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly

Myles Lewis-Skelly has become a fan favourite at Arsenal.

The teenager was always viewed as a huge talent in and around the Emirates, but supporters had to wait for a while before they could see him play consistently for the first team.

Riccardo Calafiori’s injury opened the door for the 18-year-old, and he has been the talk of the town over the last few weeks at Arsenal.

Lewis-Skelly performed brilliantly in the North London Derby against Tottenham, and he hasn’t looked out of place in any other game either.

Trossard has been impressed with the teenager, and he heaped praise on the strength he possesses at such a young age.

“I think he has shown his qualities over the past few weeks to everyone,” Trossard said, as relayed on HaytersTV. “We have seen it already over the past months that he had the capability of doing that. Now, he shows it on the big stage.

“He’s such a good player, so strong as well for his age – it’s unbelievable. He’s also down to earth, that’s just also one of his biggest qualities.

“Same as Ethan (Nwaneri), he has a bright future ahead of him and I’m really pleased for those two.”

Lewis-Skelly or Calafiori – who should start vs Dinamo Zagreb?

Calafiori has returned to training after his injury and he is now available for selection against Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League.

The Italian was Arsenal’s most expensive signing last summer, and he was viewed by Arteta as his new first-choice left-back.

However, we think Arteta should stick with Lewis-Skelly.

The youngster hasn’t put a foot wrong over the last few weeks, and we think he is now ahead of Calafiori in the pecking order at left-back.

To add to that, throwing the Italian straight into the side after his injury is not wise at all. Arteta should ease him back in.

We expect Lewis-Skelly to start for Arsenal against Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
