Leandro Trossard insists he is relishing the challenge of playing as the false nine after netting in Arsenal's win over Sevilla, as he offers Mikel Arteta a solution to Gunners' injury crisis

With a slew of injuries for Mikel Arteta to contend with, it is times such as these when players must adapt.

Particularly to succeed over a campaign’s length across the various competitions.

Leandro Trossard is one of those who’s more than willing to do so. Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah were all out injured in the past week, so Arsenal’s Trossard stepped into the false nine slot against Sevilla on Wednesday night.

He scored in the 2-0 victory, a neat finish off a Bukayo Saka assist.
