DBasia.news – Unai Emery, Arsenal manager, turns out has been watching Leandro Trossard’s situation for a while, the 24-year-old wing striker from Genk. Josy Comhair, Trossard agent, admitted his client had the opportunity to go to Arsenal.
Comhair was supposed to suggest Trossard to play in Germany – along with interest from Wolfsburg, however, he also did not rule out the possibility of scoring 12 goals in 28 league matches playing with the Gunners.
“There is no agreement with any club. But, I think Germany is a beautiful country for him. You can step one level higher in Germany, as with Arsenal you can be directly at the highest level and you can only almost go down. But, yes, Arsenal also can (be the next destination), “Comhair said on Goal.
Emery have long targeted the former Belgium U-21 national team player. However, Arsenal are still hesitant to bring him in as they are worried Trossard is playing too fast in one of Europe’s top leagues and is feared to be a flop player.
Now, after seven years playing at Genk and having been loaned to several Belgian clubs, Trossard is believed to be ready to head for a big European club. Trossard can be purchased at a price of more than 20 million euros.
“If you sell (Wilfred) Ndidi (to Leicester City) for 17 million euros, you can sell Leandro for 20 (million euros). Less than 20 million euros you won’t get Leandro,” Comhair said.
