Leandro Trossard: Arsenal forward set to pen new deal as 'value' recognised

Leandro Trossard is set to sign a new contract at Arsenal.

The Belgian, who joined the Gunners for £27million from Brighton and Hove Albion back in 2023, has spent two and a half seasons in north London, scoring 28 times and assisting 23 in 124 games at the Emirates Stadium.

He has played a crucial role in Mikel Arteta’s turning around of the club’s fortunes, with Arsenal now firmly considered title contenders.

The Athletic reports that the winger has agreed on fresh terms to his current deal, which will mean a ‘significant’ wage increase to reflect his valued role within the first-team fold.

Trossard’s current contract expires in 2027, and that will be the case once more with his new deal.

Previous reports had claimed that Trossard could leave north London with Arsenal rumoured to be wanting to strengthen their frontline.

Trossard was an unused substitute in Arsenal’s opening-day victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford last Sunday, when Riccardo Calafiori notched the winner.

Trossard suffered a groin injury during the Gunners’ pre-season friendly against rivals Tottenham in Hong Kong earlier last month, and has yet to return to action since then.
