The Belgian took just two minutes to make his mark against Aston Villa as he fired in Arsenal's opener with a first-time strike that flew past a hapless Emiliano Martinez. And what followed was the customary superhero-inspired celebration and a starting berth in the next match against Brighton.
GOAL
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Trossard's fiery start was a continuation of where he left off in the previous season. The Gunners went on to stitch a six-match winning run to end the 2023-24 Premier League campaign and the Belgian scored in four of them. However, his spike in performances was not amply reflected in the FC 25 ratings which infuriated the forward.
WHAT TROSSARD SAID
Trossard's pace attribute has gone up by one and is now 82 whereas his shooting (81) also got boosted by the same margin, which has disappointed the player.
"Should be much higher," he said in an interview with the Premier League.
"Now, that's not enough. Not at all. For any attacker, shooting is a big part. I have been practising all my life, especially on both feet how to score goals and I think I have shown already that I can score some nice goals."
DID YOU KNOW?
Trossard emerged as one of Arsenal's key players last season making 46 appearances across competitions scoring 17 goals and providing two assists. His overall FC 25 rating is 83 which has increased marginally by two points.
