Arsenal fans hail ‘agent Leo’ as new hero Trossard is spotted chatting with Gunners transfer target

ARSENAL fans have praised Leandro Trossard after being convinced he is working on the Gunners’ latest transfer target.

Trossard, 28, came off the bench in Belgium’s 3-2 friendly win over Germany on Tuesday evening.

And the former Brighton man was pictured chatting intently with another of his international team-mates after the game – something which caught the eye of the Arsenal faithful.

That is because he was in discussions with Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia – who has impressed on the south coast since joining from Manchester City at the beginning of the season.

The 19-year-old was another second-half change made by Domenico Tedesco during the Red Devils’ impressive victory in Cologne.

It comes amid rumours of Mikel Arteta’s men monitoring the Saints star ahead of the summer window.

And fans of the Premier League leaders were quick to hail Trossard for what they perceived to be his scouting of Lavia.

Reacting on social media, one person said: “Agent Trossard.”

Another added: “Another Arsenal player being an agent for transfer targets.”

And a third replied: “Trossard doing the business.”

Teen ace Lavia has caught the eye in 24 appearances for the Saints this season.

And his form means it’s not only Arsenal who are reportedly eager to secure his services.

Fabrizio Romano has claimed Chelsea also remain interested in the midfielder.

The Blues made a staggering £50million offer – £40m up front plus £10m in add ons – for Lavia just weeks after he joined the Saints last summer.

Lavia signed for Southampton in a £14m deal from Manchester City.

His former club negotiated a £40m buy-back clause in the transfer, which will become active in 2024.

But Romano declared Lavia is “one to watch” in this summer’s transfer window, suggesting City could make a move before the clause becomes active.

The midfielder has netted one Premier League goal since arriving at Southampton last summer.

His sole strike for the Saints came in the 2-1 win over Chelsea back in August.

Meanwhile, Trossard is not the only Arsenal star that fans have suggested is trying to lure players to the club.

They were also convinced Oleksandr Zinchenko was having a word with Declan Rice about coming to North London following England’s win over Ukraine on Sunday.
