Arsenal turns down Saudi approach for Leandro Trossard

The Gunners have turned down a formal approach from Saudi giants Al Ittihad for Arsenal’s best finisher Leandro Trossard. The 29-year-old is the most impactful player on the Arsenal bench and received a £30 million bid on the final day of their transfer window.

Arsenal has made clear that the Belgian forward is not up for sale and has already contributed towards 31 goals since arriving at the Emirates at the start of 2023. The arrival of Raheem Sterling on loan from Chelsea has raised questions over Trossard’s future in the first-team lineup.

But Mikel Arteta does not want to negotiate the forward’s at this stage of the season.
