Leandro Trossard may be facing an uncertain future at Arsenal, as the club continues its pursuit of new attacking talents ahead of the upcoming season. The Gunners are reportedly working on deals for both Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke, and the arrival of either could significantly reduce Trossard’s role in the squad.
The Belgian international has been an important and dependable figure since joining Arsenal, regularly featuring in Mikel Arteta’s plans. His versatility and technical ability have made him a valuable asset, and he has often stepped up in key moments. Arteta has shown great trust in him, and his contributions have not gone unnoticed.
A Shift in Squad Dynamics
Despite the manager’s appreciation for Trossard, the potential arrival of new attackers may force Arsenal to reassess his role within the team. With growing competition in forward areas, Trossard may be pushed further down the pecking order. As a player who still has much to offer, he may not be content with reduced playing time.
There is growing speculation that this summer could mark the end of his time at the Emirates. Trossard is attracting interest from clubs across Europe, and the possibility of a transfer is very real. His departure would not be due to a lack of quality but rather the evolving structure of Arsenal’s squad.
Interest from Turkey
According to Fotospor, Trossard is a target for Fenerbahçe, where José Mourinho is keen to bring him in as part of his project. The Turkish side is actively searching for top-tier talent, and the Belgian forward is seen as a strong addition. The report suggests that Fenerbahçe could soon enter into serious negotiations with Arsenal to secure his signature.
Trossard remains a skilled and experienced player, but with the likelihood of additional attackers joining the club, his path to regular football in North London appears increasingly limited. If the right offer arrives, both parties may view this summer as the appropriate time for a move.

O.K. so what’s the over/under for number of days it takes for a clash between Leandro’s dad and Jose. 🤦♂️
So we sell Trossard likely for something like £10 million and have agreed to pay Chelsea over £50 million for Madueke! What the actual 🤬 is going on at Arsenal. Chelsea fans are laughing at us for buying another one of their duds for twice what he’s worth? Totally embarrassing.
GB
Personally, I don’t care what Chelsea fans think. The club’s policy under Boehly seems to be coming clearer to me as they buy up youthful talent that have a decent onward transfer fee. Madueke wasn’t cheap and they tied him – as they do to everyone they sign – to a long contract.
I don’t understand why signing him is going to be such a disaster. His record has been good at Chelsea and he already has 7 caps for England. He’s versatile on the left and right and Chelsea have to sell to balance the books.
He’s a “disaster” because he is coming from chelsea SueP, as simple as that.
The price seems high and I hope it doesn’t affect the Eze situation, as that and the Gyokeres transfers are the ones I want signed sealed and delivered.
Remember that we have, reportedly, that £320 million war chest, so there’s plenty more of Mr Kronkie’s money yet to spend!!
Ken1945,
Can you clear something up for me, when Chelsea were tying all these player’s to 8 year contract’s, I’m sure I read somewhere that the rules had been changed and you were no longer able to sign players beyond 5 year contracts.
Or did I just imagine it, as Chelsea continue to sign players to longer than 5 year contracts still.
Derek, a club can still give out 8 year contracts. What has changed is the transfer fee can’t be paid over the length of that contract, it has to be paid over a maximum of five years.
My guess is if there were not a legal prohibition to blanket limitation on contract lengths that they would have been limited as well given that it obviously facilitates Chelski skirting the intent of the PSR by extending the amortization periods of the contract costs.
Boehly recognized that if young players did not work out, the rest of the world would still in the short-term mostly pay their asking price upon the player being put back in the shop window regardless of their original Chelski contract length.
Your last paragraph is my view too BB
Herr Drier,
Thank you for the information, on the ball as usual.
I just hope Ken1945 don’t mind you answering me.🤣😂👍
Derek, you’re welcome.
As for Ken, I very much doubt he will mind, seeing as he’s a top fella.
When HD answers Derek, I read and digest!! 👍
His explanation is one of the reasons it took so long to get Zubimendi I do believe and why we paid the reported extra £5 million.
Each payment is absorbed into the season it’s made and, of course, we don’t know all the in’s and out’s of any transfer contract.
I seem to remember Mesut Ozil, ireportedly, receiving a very large bonus when he hadn’t played a single game after the covid situation, come the end of the season – a slight deviation from the subject, but an example, nevertheless, of us fans not really knowing much about anything!! 😂👍
Plenty of Mr Kroenke’s loaned money yet to spend, surely.
I suspect Mr K didn’t become a billionaire by giving money away to companies he owns.
GB, apparently it’s a guaranteed £36m with £14m add-ons.
As for Trossard, £10m-£20m isn’t bad for a player coming up to 31 with just 1 year left on his contract.
If that’s the case HD then possibly but Madueke is primarily a right winger and not so great on the left.
Very true GB about him on the LW. Now that has got me thinking about Saka and his hamstring injury. Could it be that it’s something that is going to hamper him like it did to Michael Owen 🤔
Surely, if that’s the case HD, we still need to strengthen the left side of our attack.
I think Martinelli is a great player with bags of potential, who needs to be nurtured.
That’s why Zubimendi is such a great signing for him (and us!!) and why Eze is such an important signing if we can get him over the line.
I agree Ken, let’s see what happens. Love to see Eze sign for us.
More “old news” really. Last time the story did the rounds some days ago, I think Fenerbahçe was reportedly offering £17m. Whether that would represent an acceptable loss to Arsenal remains to be seen, if anything does happen.
