Arsenal have reached an agreement to sell Belgian forward Leandro Trossard to Turkish side Besiktas, bringing an end to his three-and-a-half-year spell at the Emirates Stadium.
The 31-year-old joined Arsenal from Brighton in January 2023 and became an important member of Mikel Arteta’s squad. Last season, he helped the Gunners end their 22-year wait for the Premier League title, scoring six goals in 31 league appearances, including a dramatic late winner against West Ham in May.
Trossard made his final appearance for Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain in Budapest. He provided the assist for Kai Havertz’s early opener in the 1-1 draw before Arsenal were beaten on penalties.
Confirming the deal, Arsenal said: “We have reached an agreement with Besiktas for the permanent transfer of Leandro Trossard.
“We will provide a further update once the transfer has been completed.”
