According to reports, Leandro Trossard is edging closer to leaving Arsenal, who could hijack Inter Milan to sign Manu Kone this summer.<\/p>\n
After ending their 22-year wait for the Premier League title, Arsenal <\/a>were never likely to stand still in this summer\u2019s transfer window and it has been widely reported that they will be active in the market.<\/p>\n Arsenal\u2019s priority is likely to strengthen their attack with a new striker and\/or winger, while it has also been suggested that they could bring in another midfielder.<\/p>\n And to fund this business, Mikel Arteta<\/a>\u2018s side will look to sanction several notable exits to balance the books, with Trossard among those linked with exits.<\/p>\n Trossard has been a superb signing for Arsenal and a real bargain following his move to Brighton for around \u00a321m, but this summer is perhaps the right time for the two parties to go their separate ways.<\/p>\n READ: Arsenal get \u2018approval\u2019 for \u00a3170m double signing as Arteta plots title defence<\/a><\/p>\n The experienced winger did not have too much of an impact for the Gunners during the 2025\/26 campaign, and there are certainly better players available as they look to strengthen this department.<\/p>\n Now, a report from Caught Offside\u2018s Mark Brus claims<\/a> Trossard\u2019s proposed move to Turkish giants Besiktas is now \u2018advanced\u2019, while personal terms are \u2018almost agreed\u2019.<\/p>\n The same report claims Besiktas are the firm frontrunner for Trossard because interest from Atletico Madrid and Juventus has \u2018cooled\u2019.<\/p>\n The report adds: \u2018It seems Trossard\u2019s priority is Besiktas, and though a deal has not been fully agreed yet, it\u2019s getting advanced after positive talks between the player\u2019s representatives and the Turkish club.<\/p>\n \u2018There have been reports of Besiktas preparing to offer Arsenal \u20ac20m for Trossard, and my understanding is that that fee is accurate.\u2019<\/p>\n
