  • Leandro Trossard is on the verge of being named an Arsenal player
  • While the deal was yet to be publicly formalized on Thursday, Trossard’s wife could not help herself
  • She took to her Instagram with an interesting photoshopped picture of her husband to suggest a deal was all but done

Leandro Trossard’s wife Laura Hilven appears to be ahead of all transfer experts as she recently took to her social media with an interesting post about the talented midfielder.

Trossard is set to be unveiled by Arsenal on Friday, January 20, after the Gunners agreed on a £27million fee with Brighton.

Brighton is set to receive £21m for Trossard up front, while the remainder of the fee will be paid in add-ons.

The Belgian is yet to wear an Arsenal shirt, but that did not stop his wife from getting ahead of herself with some impressive photoshop skills.

Laura shared on her Instagram stories a photo of Trossard in an Arsenal shirt along with the caption:

“That’s my man,”.

Laura is a private Instagram user, although her post was quickly captured by hawk-eyed football fans and instantly shared on Twitter.

Trossard’s fall at Brighton

While a move to Arsenal is certainly an upgrade, the story of how Trossard fell off at Brighton is quite the tragic one.

Despite an impressive seven Premier League goals already this season, the 28-year-old had a stunning fallout with Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi and eventually angled for an exit.

He will certainly be an excellent addition to Mikel Arteta’s side, who are runaway leaders in the Premier League with more than half the season gone.

A combination of Premier League experience and a knack of scoring against the big teams in England’s top tier makes Trossard one of the signings of the January transfer window.

“13 of Leandro Trossard’s 25 Premier League goals have come against the traditional ‘big 6’ sides, with only Mo Salah (23) & Harry Kane (14) netting more goals against such opposition since the start of the 2019/20 campaign.” Opta’s Harvey Downes revealed on Twitter.

Arsenal on high alert as Zaniolo asks to leave Roma

In other transfer news, Arsenal and Tottenham have been put on high alert as Nicolo Zaniolo has reportedly asked to leave Roma.

The two North London clubs have expressed interest in Zaniolo in the summer transfer window, and an opportunity just might have presented itself in January.

Zaniolo has struggled to settle in at Roma, and was recently booed by fans following Roma’s weekend win over Genoa.
