Besiktas Tables £19m Bid for Arsenal Winger Trossard

Besiktas have made multiple bids to sign Arsenal winger Leandro Trossard, with offers reported around £19 million to €25 million. Despite interest from Besiktas and other clubs during the summer transfer window, Arsenal value Trossard highly, having recently rewarded him with a pay rise and retaining his contract until 2027. The Belgian has been a significant contributor since joining Arsenal, scoring 28 goals and providing 21 assists in 125 appearances, earning praise from manager Mikel Arteta who calls him a “little magician.” Although Trossard has been benched in some early fixtures this season, Arsenal are not currently inclined to sell him mid-season as they aim to maintain squad depth and pursue high ambitions. Besiktas continue to pursue the deal, but Arsenal’s response remains pending, with negotiations expected to continue before the Turkish transfer window closes. The situation remains fluid, with Arsenal poised to decide on Trossard’s future in the coming days.
