​Leandro Trossard appears to be approaching the end of his time at Arsenal after playing a pivotal role in the club’s title-winning campaign and their run to the Champions League final this summer. The Belgian has enjoyed a successful spell at the Emirates and has been integral to Arsenal’s recent successes. Since joining Arsenal at the start of 2023, Trossard has established himself as one of the team’s most important players, with his experience proving particularly valuable in helping younger teammates settle into first-team life at the club.
Arsenal had been prepared to let Trossard see out the final year of his contract, which runs for another 12 months. While he has clearly enjoyed his time in north London, his stint with Arsenal now seems poised to come to a close. According to Sabah, Trossard’s representatives have been negotiating the terms of his exit with Besiktas. The report indicates that Arsenal has accepted Besiktas’s bid, and the club believes this is the right moment to complete the sale.
Gunners officials reportedly feel there may not be another opportunity to move the Belgian for the fee Besiktas is prepared to pay in the current window, so the proposed transfer is viewed as sound business. Trossard remains active with Belgium on the international stage and played a crucial role in helping the national team reach the World Cup quarterfinals by edging past the United States. His performances for Belgium continue to underline his importance on the international scene, even amid uncertainty surrounding his club future.
With the transfer agreement reportedly in place, the forward is expected to devote his attention to international duties before addressing any remaining transfer formalities after Belgium’s tournament involvement ends. If the deal goes through, Trossard’s fruitful spell at Arsenal would be winding to a close, marking the end of a period during which he contributed significantly to the club’s recent achievements.
