Arsenal have announced they have reached an agreement with Turkish club Besiktas for the permanent transfer of Leandro Trossard in a deal reported to be worth £17million. The Belgian international has been given permission to undergo a medical ahead of the move.
Trossard's Departure After Title-Winning Season
Trossard is set to leave north London after three-and-a-half years at the Emirates, during which he played a key role in securing Arsenal's first Premier League title in 22 years. The 30-year-old scored six goals in 31 league appearances last season, including a late winner in a crucial victory over West Ham in May.
His final appearance for the club came in the Champions League final against Paris St Germain, where he set up Kai Havertz's early goal in a 1-1 draw in Budapest before Arsenal lost on penalties.
Clubs Confirm Agreement
Arsenal confirmed the deal in a social media post, stating: "We have reached an agreement with Besiktas for the permanent transfer of Leandro Trossard. We will provide a further update once the transfer has been completed."
Besiktas also issued a statement on their website: "Negotiations have commenced with professional football player Leandro Trossard and his club Arsenal regarding his permanent transfer."
Trossard is yet to agree personal terms with the Turkish side, but both clubs have confirmed that a deal has been struck.
