Arsenal set to enter contract talks with Leandro Trossard amid transfer interest
Arsenal could soon initiate discussions about a new contract for Leandro Trossard, as the Belgian winger has emerged as a key figure in Mikel Arteta’s squad.
Trossard, who missed out on Belgium’s recent international fixtures against Israel and France, has been a standout performer for the Gunners. His absence from the national team has sparked speculation about his future at the Emirates.
Trossard’s omission from the Belgium squad comes after he scored a crucial goal in Arsenal’s 2-0 victory over Aston Villa last week.
Despite his strong form, Leandro Trossard was left out by Belgium manager Domenico Tedesco, which has intensified discussions about his future.
Arsenal’s decision to consider a contract extension for Trossard comes in response to a significant bid from Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad, which was turned down on deadline day.
Arsenal views Trossard as an integral part of their squad and is keen to secure his services beyond his current players contract, which runs until the end of next season.
The 29-year-old joined Arsenal from Brighton & Hove Albion in January 2023 and has since made over 70 appearances for the club. Trossard has contributed 19 goals and 12 assists, highlighting his importance to Arteta’s plans.
With interest from the Pro League and Trossard’s impressive performances, Arsenal’s hierarchy is keen to offer him a new deal to ward off potential suitors and cement his future at the club.
The upcoming negotiations will be crucial in determining whether Trossard will continue to be a pivotal part of Arsenal’s ambitions for the future.
