What happened
Arsenal have reached an agreement with Turkish Süper Lig club Besiktas over a transfer fee for Leandro Trossard. The Belgian forward, who has been a regular contributor for Arsenal since joining from Brighton in January 2023, is now set to depart the Emirates Stadium. The move would give Trossard a new challenge in Turkey and free up squad space and wages for Arsenal as they reshape their attacking options.
Chance analysis
Trossard's departure represents a significant squad change for Arsenal, who lose an experienced and versatile forward option. While he was rotation-critical rather than an undisputed starter, his goalscoring and creative output from the left flank provided important depth. For Besiktas, acquiring a player of Trossard's Premier League pedigree is a statement signing that raises their attacking ceiling in the Süper Lig.
Arsenal's attacking depth weakens slightly with Trossard's departure, while Besiktas gain a high-calibre forward addition.
Arsenal lose a key rotation forward; expect reduced depth on the left wing and potential further attacking signings to compensate.
