Leandro Trossard is on his way to Istanbul to complete his move to Besiktas, a transfer that will bring his time as an Arsenal player to an end and open a new chapter in his career.

The Belgian forward will undergo the required medical examination before officially signing the contract that will make him one of the Turkish club’s main signings for the 2026-27 season.

Besiktas reaches an agreement with Arsenal

Besiktas has reportedly reached an agreement with Arsenal to complete the transfer of the Belgium international for a fee of around €20 million.

Trossard is expected to sign a three-year contract, with the option to extend it for an additional season, and would earn an annual salary of approximately €7 million.

The Turkish club announced that the player would arrive in Istanbul on Tuesday to undergo his medical tests and complete the final formalities before the official announcement.

Trossard brings his Arsenal spell to an end

The 31-year-old forward joined Arsenal from Brighton in January 2023. Although he never managed to permanently establish himself as a starter, he became an important part of Mikel Arteta’s rotation.

During the most recent season, he made 50 appearances, scoring eight goals and providing 11 assists, while also helping the London club win the Premier League title.
