Leandro Trossard has hit the ground running at Arsenal, after the Belgian picked up a hat-trick of assists in their 3-0 win over Fulham... and ex-Brighton star is already drawing comparisons with former Gunner Santi Cazorla

Here are a couple of largely insignificant facts about Leandro Trossard.

One: he is a Lego enthusiast; appropriate because the Belgian is proving a vital piece in Arsenal’s title charge.

Two: the attacker’s agent - Josy Comhair - is a painter and decorator by trade. After Trossard’s brilliant offering at Craven Cottage on Sunday, they’ll both be painting the town Arsenal red.

But enough with the wise cracks - Trossard’s contribution to the Gunners' title challenge is no laughing matter. It’s entirely serious.

Six direct goal contributions in five starts since arriving from Brighton in January is the definition of hitting the ground running.
