Turkish giants prepare official bid for Arsenal winger

Turkish giants Besiktas are preparing an opening bid for Arsenal winger Leandro Trossard, according to BeIN Sports in Turkey.

The Belgian had a solid 2025/26 campaign with the Gunners with 19 goal contributions, but he could be on his way out soon.

His current deal expires in June next year, and as things stand, the Gunners are not looking to hand him a new contract beyond that.

This could pave the way for his departure and reports claim that Besiktas are ready to pay £17m for the former Brighton & Hove Albion man.

Besiktas are also prepared to meet Trossard's current wages at Arsenal, and it remains to be seen whether an agreement can be struck.

Trossard is also on the radar of Newcastle United and Aston Villa, but the 31-year-old could prefer moving away from English football.

Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus are also keeping tabs on the Belgian, though they may not match his current salary at Arsenal.
