Leandro Trossard transfer stance made clear after £19m Arsenal 'bid'

Arsenal are reportedly not planning to sell Leandro Trossard, even with the summer transfer window still open in some countries.

It has been a busy summer for the club, and fresh signings to Mikel Arteta's squad had raised questions over Trossard's future at the Emirates Stadium.

Earlier this week, football.london reported that Besiktas were chasing a move for the Belgian and had reportedly tabled an offer worth €22 million (£19m).

However, our sister title, football.london understands that Trossard is to pen a new deal with the Gunners. After a summer of speculation, he is set to put pen to paper on enhanced terms on his current contract, which will still run until 2027.

Arsenal have been in talks with the player's representatives since the start of the summer Arteta has voiced his delight with Trossard's performances, having netted 27 goals and registered 13 assists over the past two campaigns.

In a recent update, Fabrizio Romano reported that a switch to the Turkish Super Lig has 'no chance' of materialising, as Trossard has agreed fresh terms with Arsenal.

His wages are expected to be boosted, reflecting both his performances and his standing within the squad, bringing him in line with teammates of similar experience and importance.

"That situation has been resolved in a really great way and I think he deserves recognition, and we are very happy to have him," Arteta said last month.

Following speculation over his future, former Gunners striker Alan Smith urged the club to retain Trossard.

"I would be tempted to keep Leandro Trossard because he's a versatile player who's done well and scored important goals," he stated.

"I don't think you'd want to lose him. And the same with Martinelli actually. Martinelli didn't have the best of seasons, but I think you definitely want to keep him."
