Trossard completes 100 Arsenal appearances

Leandro Trossard celebrates scoring

After coming off the bench against Dinamo Zagreb, Leandro Trossard reached 100 Arsenal appearances - exactly two years to the day after his debut.

The Belgian winger made his Gunners bow in January 2022 against Manchester United, and quickly reached three figures thanks to 76 Premier League games, three each in the FA Cup and League Cup, single appearances in the Europa League and the Community Shield, and sixteen in the Champions League. 

That made him the fourth-fastest player in the Premier League era to achieve the feat for us, and the 11th in our history, with Pat Jenning incredibly hitting a ton after one year and 216 days:

Leandro Trossard 22/01/2023 22/01/2025 2 years 000 days

In his first 100 Arsenal appearances, Trossard started 55 times, coming off the bench on 45 occasions, often to make a huge impact with a heap of his 23 goals in that time coming as a substitute. Those strikes came in 23 different games, and when Leo has found the net we’ve never lost.

He became the 239th player to reach 100 appearances for the club, and only the second Belgian, following in the footsteps of former captain Thomas Vermaelen.
