Former Tottenham midfielder Danny Murphy has praised Arsenal for their January market work.

Murphy wrote for the Daily Mail: "They say it's best to strengthen from a position of strength and Arsenal are reaping the rewards of an excellent January transfer window.

"The league leaders didn't sulk after missing out on Mykhailo Mudryk and Moises Caceido, they went straight to Plan B and brought in Leandro Trossard and Jorginho who have made significant contributions already.

"I thought Trossard was brilliant as a false nine at Leicester today. He won't be as direct an attacking threat as Eddie Nketiah but he's an intelligent footballer and helped Arsenal to control the game by knowing when to drop deep.

"He set up the winning goal and was denied one himself by VAR. Full credit to Mikel Arteta for improving his squad and knowing how to use it.

"Jorginho has also been important filling in for Thomas Partey. Not many players could come into a team like Arsenal and fit in right away but Jorginho has done just that."
