Arsenal need to protect their attacking talents at all costs with numbers at an incredible low for the remainder of the campaign.

Arsenal should be able to take advantage of Leicester’s poor defence in their next Premier League clash but then face some tricky fixtures against a resurgent West Ham and high-flying Nottingham Forest.

Mikel Arteta will need to creative in the absence of Havertz and is relying on the likes of Raheem Sterling and Ethan Nwaneri to take over the goalscoring responsibility.

Arsenal’s most senior forward remaining is Leandro Trossard and the Belgian international’s recent upturn in form has caught the attention of the hierarchy at the club.

Arsenal preparing new contract offer to Leandro Trossard

According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Jason Ayto is preparing to meet with Trossard’s representatives over a new contract for the Gunners forward.

Trossard rejected Arsenal’s contract offer back in January but it seems the club are desperate to hang on the Belgian, who has scored five goals in 36 appearances this season.

Thierry Henry has helped Trossard with his positioning and it has been working for the 30-year-old in recent weeks by producing some fine displays for the Gunners.

Arsenal should look to upgrade Trossard in the summer window

Many believe that despite Trossard’s recent good form, Arteta should sell Trossard this summer and bring in a better quality winger.

Signing a winger is Arsenal’s priority in the summer and there are many options that the club are looking at in order to improve the firepower at the manager’s disposal.

Arsenal have consistently been linked with Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao and it now seems Williams is open to a move to the Premier League.

With raw pace and the ability to take players on 1 v 1, Williams would be the ideal candidate to replace Trossard having proved his quality for Spain during their European Championship winning campaign.
