Leandro Trossard has seen his salary improve following the summer review, as Arsenal sought to reward the Belgian forward for his increasing influence and consistency within the squad. Over recent seasons, he has become one of the club’s most dependable performers, contributing regularly to the team’s attacking play and earning the trust of both his manager and supporters alike.
Mikel Arteta continues to regard Trossard as a vital component of his tactical setup, appreciating his versatility, work ethic and composure in front of goal. The attacker has consistently fought for his place in the starting eleven and has never shied away from competition, proving his worth through dedication and professionalism.
Arsenal Considering a Contract Extension
According to Florian Plettenberg, Arsenal are now contemplating the prospect of extending Trossard’s current contract. His existing deal runs until 2028, which still provides the club with considerable security regarding his future. Nevertheless, such discussions reflect the Gunners’ intention to acknowledge his continued impact and ensure that his long-term future remains tied to the Emirates Stadium.
Plettenberg reports that the club’s hierarchy has been particularly impressed by Trossard’s ongoing contributions in key fixtures. His ability to influence games from a variety of attacking positions has made him a valuable asset, especially in a team that relies heavily on fluidity and adaptability in the final third.
A Trusted Figure Within the Squad
Despite the arrival of several attacking reinforcements during the summer, Trossard has maintained his place as a central figure in the squad. His intelligent movement, technical precision and unselfish play have allowed him to outperform many of his teammates in similar roles. Far from being overshadowed, he continues to enhance his reputation as one of Arsenal’s most consistent and effective forwards.
Beyond his performances on the pitch, Trossard’s experience and professionalism also serve as an important influence within the dressing room. His presence provides guidance and stability to younger players adapting to the demands of Premier League football. As Arsenal continue their pursuit of major honours under Arteta, Trossard’s commitment and quality are likely to ensure he remains a crucial part of the club’s long-term ambitions.

Am not sure an extension discussion is necessary at this point.
But I did approve the improvement in his salary recently, recognizing his contributions to the team..
Surely team members looking on would have seen this as a class act by the club
Not me Gunsmoke!!
If the club thinks enough of a player to give him a rise then they should also tie him down via his contract extension.
If we gave every player a rise for what he’s contributing this season, nearly every single squad player would be eligible.
Ken1945,
You’re bang on with this one. It makes me laugh to be honest. When these players sign there multi-million pound contracts their only to happy to for obvious reasons.
And then we hear, well their contributing so well we need to reward them with a pay rise. Absolute rubbish, if they’re signing an extension to their contract then like you I agree.
But if their not then no rise should be necessary. After all their doing what their paid to do.
And if that’s how there going to be judged, shouldn’t it work the other way around, and any player that is not contributing to the team, shouldn’t they get a pay cut. I bet that would go down very well. Not. 🤷♂️👍
I presume the club thought it was worth giving Trossard an improved pay deal because they want to keep him until his contract expires. He is shortly to be 31 and until the improved deal was – in football terms – not on as much as I would have expected. Even now his salary if the reports are correct, is not extortionate, so it looks like a win-win situation, where the club have a settled player and there is no background noise.
I can’t see why Arsenal would want to offer a longer contract to a player who is edging closer to the end of his top level years, other than offer this current inducement.
Yeah I agree, I think it was a smart move by the club to prevent his eye wandering. The left wing is constantly under speculation, so pinning him down means no urgency to find the right replacement. He’ll be 32 at the end of his contract. He will be a great acquisition for a team in a league like Italy at that point, so it’s really a good win for him also.
The flip side is that he could easily leave on a free transfer. That said, I’m not sure his resale value would be much to trumpet over anyway.
With the money these player’s are on, their hardly on the breadline are they.
And if said player, especially a player on the wrong side of 30 starts kicking off regards he wants a pay rise during his current contract.
I to would kickoff, and I’d start by kicking him out of the club.
Morning Derek
Do you know that Trossard and his agent kicked off? From what I’ve read until this pay rise, he was in the bottom half of salaries. Similar in fact to players that Arsenal would be happy to ship out such as Vieira and Nelson. The fact that is, his improved contract recognises his value to the team, then I don’t have a problem with greater parity being applied
I totally agree that player salaries are in La la land, but to me it makes sense to reward a player who is always in the team – either as a starter or as a sub who 99% of the time gets used. Do you not think that other players will have been given improved salaries midway through their current contract? I’d guess some do
SueP,
I’m not saying that Trossard or his agent kicked off. I meant that if said player kicked off, but I should have explained myself better, apologies.
Where me and you differ is I wouldn’t give said player a rise. He’s doing what he’s paid to do at the end of the day, and if needing a pay rise is the only way to motivate said player, then that player shouldn’t be at the club.
And just to put another twist, if said player gets the reward of a rise for playing well, does that mean if said player is playing bed, you then cut his wages?. 🤷♂️
Derek
Trossard as in this example is doing what he’s paid to do and he has been doing it well. We differ insofar as I would rather reward his performances with a raise, than end up with a sulky player on less than Vieira and Reiss Nelson. When Norgaard is on more then it’s only right to equal it out imo. When much is made of man management I think the club have got it right on this occasion but it’s all down to opinion
On the other hand I was apoplectic that Nketiah who was definitely a squad player imo, got a whopping pay rise.
OOPS! If said player is playing bad. 🤦♂️
