Leandro Trossard is one of the players expected to leave Arsenal this summer if the club are serious about improving its squad with new additions.
The Gunners remain determined to ensure their team is in the best possible shape ahead of next season, and they recognise that some of the players who contributed to their recent success could be moved on as part of that process. Despite winning the Premier League title, Arsenal are continuing to assess areas where further improvements can be made.
Trossard was an important member of the squad and delivered several impressive performances across all competitions. However, there has long been a belief that Arsenal could strengthen their options on the left side of attack with a different profile of player.
Arsenal Consider Their Options
His main competitor for a place in the team is Gabriel Martinelli, but the Brazilian has struggled to consistently produce his best form. As a result, he has not provided the level of competition for Trossard that many expected when the pair were competing for a starting role.
This summer, Arsenal have been linked with moves for players such as Yan Diomande and Julian Alvarez. The club may need to sanction departures in order to generate funds and create space within the squad, and that could place both Trossard and Martinelli under scrutiny.
Any significant additions to the attacking department are likely to have an impact on the futures of current squad members, particularly those entering the final stages of their contracts.
Interest from Premier League Rivals
As reported by Metro Sports, Arsenal expect offers for Trossard and believe Newcastle United and Aston Villa could make serious attempts to sign him, with both clubs interested in strengthening their attacking options.
Trossard would reportedly prefer to remain at Arsenal, but he has only one season remaining on his current contract. Furthermore, there have been few indications that the club are preparing to offer him an extension.
That situation could make a summer departure increasingly likely, particularly if Arsenal receive an attractive proposal and identify suitable replacements capable of enhancing the squad for the challenges ahead.

Despite interest from other clubs expect Trossard to stay with us, run down his contract and collect the full monies (available) upon leaving next year having helped retain our PL Title. As his finishing (front on goal) is more often lethal it makes better sense he remains an squad option.
👍I agree waal2waal – even though if he does want to go one of the other clubs for a good multi-year contract I wouldn’t blame him really

A multi-year offer may be hard to resist, true.
I just don’t think he’s ready to leave. All he wanted was a fair pay packet to reflect his importance to the 1st team – which he was successful in getting.
It’ll be interesting to see what happens as it always seems to be with his situation since he was acquired several winters ago. Personally, even in the short run, I wouldn’t want to see his PL proven quality and grit leave the squad and know it will not be easy to replace with big money no doubt required.
It wasn’t Trossard, WASN’T offered an extension, he didn’t ask for it. What was asked for (which he was given) was a pay rise to reflect his standing at the club. Trossards circumstances have changed recently, so he may fancy a change now, but he isn’t looking to leave. He is and rightly so, our first choice LW, BUT with a new addition that could/would change.
