Late in the summer transfer window, there were suggestions that Arsenal’s Leandro Trossard was a target for AS Roma.
Turkish clubs also came forward for the versatile forward but a move never materialised.
On Tuesday, the Belgium international scored a vital goal for Arsenal in their 2-0 win over Athletic Bilbao in the UEFA Champions League.
ASRomaLive look at his situation and believe that the 30-year-old was one of the hottest targets for the Italian giants, with Inter Milan also having seen him as an alternative to Ademola Lookman.
The outlet believe that Trossard stayed at Arsenal due to the possibility of him still making an impact off the bench for the Gunners.
His goal against the Spanish side is said to be confirmation of his importance to Mikel Arteta’s project and this makes a move to either Roma or Inter quite difficult.
The ex-Brighton player also assisted Gabriel Martinelli’s opening goal on Tuesday and also has one assist in the Premier League.
This shows that Trossard still has a lot to offer Arsenal, even if he doesn’t play regularly after the arrival of Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace.
