ARSENAL HAVE AGREED a deal to sell Leandro Trossard to Besiktas, paving the way for the 31-year-old to depart after three and a half years at the Emirates Stadium.
The Belgium international, who moved to north London from Brighton in January 2023, played a key role in helping Mikel Arteta’s side end a 22-year wait for the Premier League title last season, scoring six times in 31 league appearances, including the late winner in a crucial victory over West Ham in May.

His final game for the club came in the Champions League final against Paris St Germain, setting up Kai Havertz’s early goal in a 1-1 draw in Budapest before the Gunners lost on penalties.
Trossard is yet to agree personal terms with the Turkish side but both clubs have confirmed that a deal, reportedly valued at £17 million (€20 million), has been struck.
“We have reached an agreement with Besiktas for the permanent transfer of Leandro Trossard,” Arsenal confirmed.
“We will provide a further update once the transfer has been completed.”
Trossard played 174 times in all competitions for Arsenal, scoring 36 goals.
