Arsenal agree fee for Trossard move to Besiktas

Arsenal have reached an agreement on a transfer fee to sell Belgium international Leandro Trossard to Besiktas. The 31-year-old has been given permission to travel to Istanbul to undergo a medical. Trossard is under contract with the Gunners until 2027. He joined the club from Brighton in January 2023 for £21 million plus add-ons.

"Negotiations have commenced with professional football player Leandro Trossard and his club Arsenal regarding his permanent transfer," the Turkish Super Lig side said in a statement. Trossard has scored 36 goals and registered 34 assists in 174 appearances for Arsenal. He helped Mikel Arteta's side win last season's Premier League title. Trossard was a key player, starting in the Champions League final defeat by Paris St-Germain and 21 times in the league.

Belgium reached the quarter-finals of this summer's World Cup, with Trossard starting all six games and scoring twice.
