As the summer transfer window drew to a close, Arsenal made their stance on Leandro Trossard very clear. Despite reports of a £19 million (€22m) offer from Besiktas, the club has no intention of selling the Belgian forward. Instead, Trossard is set to sign an improved contract that will keep him at the Emirates until 2027. Discussions with his representatives have been ongoing throughout the summer, with Mikel Arteta keen to reward his contributions.

Since joining Arsenal, Trossard has scored 27 goals and registered 13 assists across two seasons, proving his value as a versatile attacker. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that a move to the Turkish Super Lig was never a possibility, adding that the player has already agreed terms on a new deal. His upgraded salary will reflect his influence in the squad, bringing him in line with senior teammates. Arteta himself praised Trossard, stressing his importance to the team.

Former Arsenal striker Alan Smith also supported the club’s decision, describing him as a player who consistently delivers in key moments. With speculation now settled, Arsenal have secured Trossard’s future, ensuring squad depth and attacking balance remain strong ahead of the new season.
