Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says the club remains “actively” looking for potential players to join and avoids needing support from the frontline as they push for the Premier League title
Arsenal’s bid for the title this season has not been helped by a growing injury list in the forward area.
This week it was confirmed that Gabriel Jesus has suffered an ACL injury and will be sidelined along with Bukayo Saka. Despite missing the offense, Trossard said he’s ready to fill in if needed.
“Injuries are a big blow for us. We know what Bukayo (Saka) has shown for the club and Gabriel Jesus is in great form, these injuries are just bad luck. We hope we can be ready at the same time. It’s up to us to be ready.
“Due to injuries, we had to change some things so that everyone had a chance. Of course, I’m always happy (to fill in up front). I’m always ready to play in any position on the field.”

Arsenal retained the threat from set pieces and independent attacks, becoming the team that made the most effective use of corner kicks. Their corner-kick prowess has prompted criticism from some onlookers that the Gunners rely too heavily on set-pieces. For Trossard, Arsenal is about more than just set pieces.
“That’s the part of the game we’re really good at,” he told us sky sports.
“We want to be the best at everything, including set-pieces. We’ve shown consistency over the last few years and that’s where you can decide the game. It’s an important part of our game, but it’s not the only part.
“We can also score from aerial battles. I don’t think there is an over-reliance on corner kicks. The outside view would be that because we score a lot of goals, but we don’t have it in our hearts to say we can only score from set-pieces, which is just one of the ways we win the game. Extra Tools.
“I think everyone in the league would want that. We’re very happy about it and obviously we could have scored more but at the end of the day when you get a win in the Premier League you need to be happy.”
