Gross praises Trossard but insists there is no room for emotions in Brighton.
Pascal Gross is not surprised to see Leandro Trossard shine at Arsenal, but warned his former team-mates that there is no room for emotions and feelings when Brighton visit the Emirates on Sunday. .
Trossard spent three-and-a-half years on the South Coast before joining Arsenal in January for £21m.
The Belgian striker has played a key role in defending the title in recent months, scoring one goal and providing eight assists in 17 Premier League appearances for Mikel Arteta's side.
He will face his former team for the first time on Sunday, but Arsenal will be rivals to Manchester City and Brighton will look to secure European football for the first time. "He's doing very well. His football skills are unbelievable," said Gross.
"He's fast, he can shoot left-footed or right-footed, he can create something."
"I mean, he's a really good player." But he's looking forward to the game because it's another big opportunity for us.
"It's nice to see him, but we have to focus on ourselves."
Trossard is suspected of fleeing Brighton in January to force a transfer. But before the game, Arteta praised the striker's power.
"We had a situation. We wanted a player and they were happy to sell us a player," said the Arsenal manager.
"I'm very happy to have him in the team. He's great and you can see his contribution."
Roberto De Zerbi's Brighton are trying to come back from a surprise 5-1 home defeat to relegation-threatened Everton earlier this week.
While the result has disappointed hopes in Europe, Gross said:
"We can't change that anymore. All we can do is look ahead, train hard, train as hard as we can and prepare for the next game."
Teammate Deniz Unduff added:
"It's a bad result, no one expected it." "As Pascal said, we have to take responsibility and react really well on Sunday."
