Arsenal has reportedly given the green light for Leandro Trossard to join Turkish club Besiktas this summer, with the final decision now resting with the Belgian international.
Sources close to the deal, including renowned transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, indicate that Arsenal has authorized Trossard's travel and medical examinations, paving the way for the transfer. Besiktas is currently in discussions with Trossard's representatives to finalize personal terms and secure his final approval.
Trossard has been a valuable asset for Arsenal since his arrival from Brighton, notably contributing to their Premier League title victory last season. However, with the player entering the later stages of his career, Arsenal appears ready to facilitate a move that could offer him more consistent playing time.
An agreement in principle has been reached with Besiktas, and Arsenal is now awaiting Trossard's confirmation to proceed with potential replacements. For Trossard, a move to Turkey could provide the regular first-team action he desires at this stage of his career, rather than potentially reduced minutes at a major European club.
The prospect of consistent weekly starts in Turkey would allow Trossard to showcase his abilities, having already proven his worth in the Premier League. This presents an opportunity for him to embark on a new challenge. The Gunners will face the task of finding a dynamic attacking player capable of scoring and creating, mirroring Trossard's versatility across various attacking positions.
