Arsenal are ‘not done’ after signing Leandro Trossard as they are reportedly ‘interested’ in bringing one of their ex-academy products back to the club.
The Gunners are sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League at the moment but it is expected that they will come under pressure with Man City and Man Utd also in the title race.

Arsenal consider the attacker to be a ‘shrewd addition with potential for long-term growth’. They are not alone in showing interest in him though as the report adds that Leicester City, Borussia Monchengladbach and Bayer Leverkusen are also monitoring his situation.
