Arsenal Agrees New Contract with Leandro Trossard

Leandro Trossard has agreed to a new contract adjustment with Arsenal that includes a significant pay raise but does not extend his deal beyond its original expiration in 2027. Despite speculation and interest from other clubs such as Bayern Munich and Aston Villa, Trossard has remained committed to Arsenal amid ongoing transfer window discussions. The versatile Belgian forward, who joined Arsenal from Brighton in January 2023, has been an important squad member, contributing 28 goals and 23 assists across 124 appearances and playing in various attacking and midfield roles. Trossard's improved contract reflects his valued role under Mikel Arteta, even though he has faced competition for starting positions from players like Gabriel Martinelli and new signing Noni Madueke. He missed Arsenal's Premier League opener due to a minor groin injury sustained in preseason but is expected to return soon. Arsenal's transfer focus appears to be on squad trimming rather than selling key players like Trossard or Martinelli this summer.
