Trossard on new recruits and life at London Colney.

Image
  Eight months into his time in N7, Leandro Trossard is enjoying every minute in red and white. The Belgian forward joined us in January and provided 10 assists before the end of the campaign, becoming an important figure in our side. With a feel-good factor at London Colney and the summer arrivals of Kai Havertz, Jurrien Timber and Declan Rice, Trossard is confident that we can challenge for the Premier League title again this season. “It’s so much like a family,” he said. “Once you enter the building everyone takes care of you, you can ask them whatever you want and it’s a really nice feeling. “Kai, Timber and Declan are all great additions for the squad. They all bring something and it’s competitive, so everyone has to be at the top of their game to perform well. It’s a really good bunch of lads and it’s nice to have them here. “Declan’s a really good guy and, from the day he joined, I tried to help him to settle in. From that day we had a good connection. He’s a top player but ...

Arteta on increased competition after Raya arrival

Image
  Aaron Ramsdale played every minute of our league campaign last season, twice winning the Premier League Save of the Month award, and keeping 14 clean sheets in all. But that hasn’t stopped Mikel Arteta from strengthening his goalkeeping position yet further, by recruiting Spain international stopper David Raya from Brentford. The boss believes that increasing the level of competition within the squad will improve the environment across the board, and that it’s healthy for every position – whether in goal or outfield. “When we had different goalkeepers there were questions as well,” Arteta said in his pre-match press conference. “To have two excellent goalkeepers is great - there's nothing wrong with it. We have two great left-wingers and two great strikers and two great holding midfielders. We have Jorginho, Thomas and Declan and that is not a problem, and it should not be a problem. “We want to be better every single day and to be better the environment has to change and be bett...
