For that game, Arsenal left-wingers Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli both record assists, but despite their contributions, their long-term future at the club no still clear.
Trossard, one of the senior players for the squad, get contract wey go expire in 2027. Martinelli own also dey run till 2027, although Arsenal still get option to extend am by another 12 months.

As Arsenal prepare for another title push and deeper Champions League runs, smart recruitment like this fit be the difference between dominance and disappointment.
Whether the “next Eden Hazard” go eventually land at the Emirates remains to be seen, but Arsenal interest don clearly show their intent to stay ahead of the curve.
