Micah Richards has claimed one Arsenal star has got something that nobody else in the squad currently has.
The Gunners find themselves in with a shot of winning the Premier League title on the last day of the season having won 1-0 away to Manchester United on Sunday, with Manchester City facing Tottenham tomorrow.
With Arsenal breaking numerous club records this season, it’s been a year to remember for the north London side, with a number of players, such as Bukayo Saka, taking their game to exciting new heights.
And Richards has said one Arsenal star now stands out due to what he can do on the pitch.
Richards lauds Leandro Trossard’s versatility for Arsenal in the attack
Speaking on the Rest is Football, Richards praised Leandro Trossard for his ability to play anywhere across the attack for Arsenal having scored the winning goal in yesterday’s win against United.
With 17 goals in all competitions this season, Trossard’s form has been nothing short of exceptional since arriving from Brighton & Hove Albion last year, and Arsenal fans and pundits have been impressed with the Belgian this campaign.

Richards said about Trossard: “What’s so good about him is his versatility, whether he’s playing false nine or on the left or even out on the right at times, I just think he’s a really intelligent player and when you need a really cool head in front of goal, he’s got that.
“I think the best thing about Trossard is his movement, he’s calm with his movement and he’s got that confidence to stick it away. We saw it at Brighton, but to fit in at Arsenal the way he has has been brilliant.”
Trossard has been one of Mikel Arteta’s best signings
Signed for £27m last year, few would have expected Trossard to be as efficient as he has been for Arsenal, yet the Belgian international has proven a lot of doubters wrong in a short space of time.
The winger’s versatility has made Trossard a real asset for Arsenal, with the attacker also having quite the habit of scoring big goals in important matches for the Gunners.
And for Mikel Arteta, Trossard represents one of the best signings the Arsenal manager has ever made in his tenure at the club, with the 29-year-old proving to be worth every penny.
