He may be on the verge of losing Trossard but Mikel Arteta is under no illusions about his importance to the club. Speaking in March after the victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers, a game which the Belgian excelled in, Arteta was full of praise for the forward.

"Trossard, great player. He's a little magician," the Spaniard said.

"He can score on any surface and he's a big threat; so composed, so cool, he can play in different positions. It's just a joy to have him in the team.

"I think the timing of the first goal was really helpful as well. [I am ] really happy."
