Steve Kay<\/a><\/p>\n Updated: 13 Aug 2025 18:02 BST FootballTransfers understands that Aston Villa<\/a> have held talks with Arsenal<\/a> over a deal for Leandro Trossard<\/a>.<\/p>\n Article continues under the video<\/p>\n Initial discussions between the two clubs took place on Tuesday as Aston Villa<\/a> look to test the Gunners\u2019 resolve over the Belgian. Trossard has been informed of the approach, and it is understood that the decision regarding his future will be left entirely up to the player.<\/p>\n It is important to note that this is not the first time the Birmingham club have enquired about Trossard. A similar conversation was held in January, when Arsenal<\/a> were negotiating a new contract with the player – an offer that remains on the table but is as yet unsigned.<\/p>\n Back then, Villa were told he was not for sale as Arsenal were confident that a new contract could be agreed. However, since then, tangible progress has been hard to come by.<\/p>\n Trossard is also considering interest from other clubs, with Arsenal valuing him at around \u00a318 million (\u20ac20.8m) – a figure well within Villa\u2019s reach, especially with Jacob Ramsey\u2019s imminent big-money move to Newcastle<\/a> and amid growing interest in Leon Bailey<\/a>.<\/p>\n Brentford also interested in Trossard <\/p>\n As first reported by FootballTransfers<\/a>, Brentford<\/a> have also made contact over Trossard as the Bees eye a proven Premier League attacker to strengthen their forward options. It comes amid Yoane Wissa’s ongoing push to leave the club and join Newcastle.<\/p>\n In July, we revealed<\/a> that Mikel Arteta would prefer to keep Trossard and that the player is open to remaining at the Emirates. Sources have suggested that there could yet be an agreement on fresh terms despite the months-long stalemate.<\/p>\n However, a move away could hold appeal if given assurances of a regular starting role, which is something that Arsenal can’t guarantee after bolstering their attacking options this summer.<\/p>\n With multiple clubs circling and no agreement yet on a new deal, Trossard\u2019s future could be one of the most closely watched stories in the final weeks\u00a0of\u00a0the\u00a0window.<\/p>\n Football transfer news headlines today<\/p>\n DONE DEALS: Every official completed transfer around Europe today<\/a><\/p>\n Donnarumma reaches agreement to join Man City<\/a><\/p>\n Eze chooses Arsenal over Tottenham as deal hits CRUCIAL 48 hours<\/a><\/p>\n Fabrizio Romano Transfer News: Guehi to Liverpool CERTAIN, Baleba TALKS, PSG\u2019s Donnarumma DEMAND<\/a><\/p>\n The FootballTransfers app <\/p>\n Check out FootballTransfers’ new app for all of football’s big storylines, transfer rumours and exclusive news in one convenient place directly on your mobile device.<\/p>\n The FootballTransfers app is available on Google Play and in the Apple App Store.
