According to Football Insider, Leandro Trossard and Arsenal are engaged in advanced conversations over a new four-year deal. The Gunners have decided on a longer-term approach with the 30-year-old Belgian as Mikel Arteta views the attacker as a vital part of his plans.
Arsenal are set to embark on by far the most important summer window of Mikel Arteta’s reign, as new sporting director Andrea Berta has a lot on his hands. Not only do the Gunners need to bring in new attackers, but they must also make big efforts to keep hold of existing stars.
Arsenal are already planning new deals for William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes and Bukayo Saka, with all three considered extremely important for their plans. Some other players are set to enter critical periods in their respective deals, with Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli on the same boat.
Leandro Trossard is in talks with the club over a new deal, with Arsenal offering him a four-year contract to prolong his stay at the Emirates. The Belgian international has contributed to 18 goals this season, and Mikel Arteta views him as a vital part of their plans despite not being a sure starter in the team, but still seen as important for their ideas.
He has had Saudi Arabian interest in the past, and those clubs might come in for him if Arsenal cannot find an agreement over a new deal. Trossard’s existing contract expires in 2026, meaning this is make-or-break territory for the Gunners with regards to his future.
Trossard’s experience and impact in many games has convinced Arteta to ensure the attacker can stay put for the future. At 30, the Belgian can still offer plenty at the top level, as the manager tends to use him in different roles ranging from an attacking midfield position, the left wing and at times, as a false-nine.
Arsenal are linked with a new left-sided attacker ahead of the summer, with Nicol Williams and Jamie Gittens all part of that list. An arrival of that sort would threaten Trossard’s place, but given his versatility, Arteta will want the Belgian international to stay pout for the long term future.
