Jamie Redknapp says Arsenal dogged a bullet by not signing Chelsea star

Jamie Redknapp has claimed that Arsenal made a fortunate choice by opting for the "brilliant" Leandro Trossard over Mkyhailo Mudryk, according to Sky Sports. Trossard's opening goal in Arsenal's 2-0 victory against Wolves propelled them to the top of the Premier League, albeit having played more games than Manchester City. His impressive goal helped ease the tension at Molineux, with Martin Odegaard securing the win with a late goal. Despite not always being in Mikel Arteta's starting lineup, Trossard has made a significant impact since joining Arsenal from Brighton in January 2023.


Especially when you factor in that he wasn't Arteta's initial preference, with Arsenal actively pursuing Mudryk for months before abandoning the deal due to Shakhtar Donetsk's excessive fee demands. Chelsea then secured the Ukrainian for a staggering £88 million, yet he has only managed to score six goals and provide four assists in 51 games for the Blues.

‘If my mind serves me correctly they were in for Mudryk. They didn’t get him, he chose to go to Chelsea and they paid big money for him and he [Trossard] was probably the second choice,’ Liverpool icon Redknapp said on Sky Sports. ‘But if you look at the two careers up to now – and there’s nothing to say that Mudryk can’t go onto still have a good career at Chelsea – but he’s been a brilliant signing. ‘He comes up with vital goals. He gives you width, he’s comfortable on the ball. ‘When you’re looking to add players to the squad you have to make sure you bring in the right type and he’s certainly that. £27m is an absolute bargain for a tremendous player, technically good that can nick a goal.'

What If Arsenal And Man City Finishes On The Same Point And Same Goal Difference

  What if Arsenal and Manchester City finishes on the same point and on the same goal difference. What will happen and who will be crowned as champions? When the teams are tied, there are so many ways to untie them. The first is the goal difference. If they remain tied, then goals scored will be used to decide. For now, Manchester City have scored more goals than Arsenal. 91 for City and 89 for Arsenal. If both teams have the same number of goals scored and still remain tied, then most points in head to head matches will be used. Arsenal have an advantage here having picked up 4 points against them. If they remain tied after this, then most away goals scored in the head to head game will be used. I doubt it will get this far. If both teams end on the same point and goal difference, then City may likely win on more goals scored.
