HE'S ONE OF OUR MOAN

Arteta: Trossard might be a whinger but it shows his "will to win & desire to prove people wrong.... I love it!

LEANDRO TROSSARD is Arsenal's No.1 "moaner" but Mikel Arteta is not complaining.

Trossard does not always look happy on the pitch but is now guaranteed a run in the starting line-up during Bukayo Saka's injury absence.

The Gunners winger has a reputation as an impact substitute with a knack of scoring important goals.

But you can almost tell from his body language that he gets fed up.

Arteta says he does not mind Trossard having a whinge because it shows just how much he cares and wants to prove people wrong The Arsenal boss said: "Leo is naturally a bit of a moaner but I like that because he's very competitive.

You have training sessions, he's always busy with the referee's decision, because he wants to win. That's what I love.

"He always wants to be the best and when he's not there, he's not happy. But that's what pushes him. That's where he comes in on the pitch, he can make an impact because he's got that drive, that anger which says: Tm gonna show you. I love that about him.

"He's a really good character.
