Leandro Trossard: Goodbye Leo
Goodbye Leo is a bittersweet farewell to Leandro Trossard as he leaves Arsenal for Besiktas. Over a bright, driving pop-rap, it remembers the Belgian's clutch years in red and white: the winner at West Ham that all but sealed the title, the stoppage-time nutmeg past Alisson against Liverpool, the Cruyff turn that left Pedro Porro in a heap in the North London derby. Thirty-six goals, thirty-four assists, and a knack for the biggest moments. This is the send-off for the man who lived for the big lights. Trossard, so clutch.
