Arsenal seals £27m signing of Leandro Trossard as Mikel Arteta finally boosts his attacking options after missing out on Mykhailo Mudryk and he could face Man United on Sunday.
Although he signed his deal before midday on Friday, there was no confirmation over his registration before the deadline that would allow him to compete against the Red Devils – although it may appear likely.
Sportsmail understands that Trossard can expect to double his current salary to around £90,000-a-week at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners, who enjoy a five-point advantage over Manchester City at the top of the Premier League with a game in hand, moved quickly to identify other targets, including Trossard.
