Six of those have arrived with the 29-year-old as the player securing the and on every occasion the pass has arrived from Saka. The England international frequently sends deep crosses into the back post with Trossard aware of his expert delivery and in the right place to take advantage.
"I don’t know why but every time B is on the ball, I just know I need to make a movement or come close to him," Trossard explained in an interview on Arsenal's official website. "Against Burnley recently, I just gambled on him winning the header and he did – and that’s why I got the goal.
"I get along with B really well. He’s such a lovely guy and always down to earth. You can speak to him about everything and it’s nice to chat to him. I always try to get in the right positions and, so far, it’s been B who has set up my goals. But I’m sure there will be someone else in the next games or that I will assist other team-mates."
Trossard is approaching his one-year anniversary since signing for the club from Brighton and it's fair to say he's made quite the impact in a number of different positions. Goals with his right foot, left foot and head have all arrived making him one of the most versatile players in the Premier League.
Just this season he has been used in a false nine role, out wide and in midfield and he has now revealed who he has to thank for that and therefore his big move to Arsenal. "My grandad really inspired me, especially when I was younger," he admitted. "He didn’t play much football but he helped me a lot throughout my career. He was always there for me, supporting me, coming to games and everything.
"In fact he was the one training me to use my left foot as well. He always used to say that if you want to be a top player, you need to develop both feet. He said you have to be two-footed and he helped me with that. He lived nearby and whenever I stayed with him he would always take me out to practise with him."
