Turkish Super Lig giants Besiktas are reportedly keen on sealing a late move for 30-year-old Arsenal attacker Leandro Trossard in the final days of the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Turkish outlet Sozcu, Leandro Trossard is the subject of interest from Besiktas. The Turkish Super Lig giants are keen on reinforcing their offensive unit by signing a versatile attacker before the summer transfer window shuts down. So, the 30-year-old Arsenal utility man has emerged as a target for Kara Kartallar.
The Black Eagles are intensifying their efforts to sign the Waterschei native, hoping to secure his services in the final days of the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, Arsenal will demand around €22 million to part ways with the former Brighton & Hove Albion attacker in the next few days.
Leandro Trossard and becoming an asset for Arsenal
Leandro Trossard has made considerable progress since joining Arsenal from Brighton & Hove Albion in January 2023. While the 30-year-old has not been a regular starter for the North London club, he has been a reliable backup attacker for Mikel Arteta in the last two and a half years. Additionally, the player’s ability to reprise multiple offensive roles has made him a utility man.
However, the Belgian international may have reached a crossroads in his career after Arsenal signed Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze in the summer transfer window. Trossard has thus managed only 37 minutes of game time in one outing in the ongoing campaign. However, Trossard’s stock in the market is high, with Besiktas among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the final days of the summer transfer window.
Turkish adventure beckons?
Widespread reports have linked Leandro Trossard with several clubs in the last few months. From Turkiye, outlets have suggested that the Arsenal utility man has been a target for Fenerbahce. Meanwhile, Besiktas’s interest in the Waterschei native is understandable, considering they have parted ways with Semih Kilicsoy this summer.
The Turkish Super Lig giants are eager to reinforce their offensive unit by signing a versatile attacker before the summer transfer window shuts down. So, Trossard has emerged as a viable target for Besiktas, with Arsenal demanding around €22 million to part ways with him.
The latest report has claimed that the Black Eagles are intensifying their efforts to secure Trossard’s services in the final days of the summer transfer window. So, while reports a few weeks ago suggested the 30-year-old Belgian international was set to sign a new contract with Arsenal, a summer departure may be on the cards.
