Arsenal star to leave the club after playing crucial role in Premier League title triumph

  • Arsenal have reached an agreement to sell Leandro Trossard to Turkish club Besiktas, concluding his three-and-a-half-year spell at the Emirates Stadium.
  • The Belgium international, who arrived from Brighton in January 2023, played a pivotal role in Mikel Arteta’s squad last season, helping Arsenal secure their first Premier League title in 22 years.
  • Trossard's contributions included six goals in 31 league appearances, notably scoring a crucial late winner against West Ham in May that was vital for Arsenal's title challenge.
  • His final appearance for the club came in the Champions League final against Paris St Germain, where he assisted Kai Havertz’s early goal in a 1-1 draw before Arsenal lost on penalties.
  • Both Arsenal and Besiktas have publicly confirmed the agreement for the permanent transfer, though Trossard is yet to finalise personal terms with the Turkish club.
