Brentford eye move for Arsenal star amid potential summer departure

1 hour ago 2

There was a sense of calm around Brentford until Yoane Wissa made it clear that his heart was set on Champions League football.

The Congolese forward is determined to pursue his ambition with a transfer with some reports linking him to Newcastle United.

According to FootballTransfers, Brentford have started speaking with Leandro Trossard’s representatives to explore the idea of bringing him from Arsenal before the transfer window closes.

Trossard has been a dependable option under Mikel Arteta and featured in important Premier League and Champions League games last season.

He scored 10 goals across all competitions and played a crucial part in helping Arsenal finish second in the league and make it to the semi-finals in Europe.

Brentford is willing to offer Trossard a three-year contract, which would give him long-term security at a stage of his career where that matters more than ever.

His current Arsenal deal runs until 2027.

Arsenal remain open to a sale if conditions suit all parties

According to some reports, Arsenal have started early talks regarding a new contract for Leandro Trossard.

But there are also suggestions the Gunners may allow the Belgian to leave if they receive an acceptable offer.

FootballTransfers reports that Trossard has communicated to Arteta in the past that he would consider leaving if an good offer came and Brentford’s proposal may fall into that category, especially given that Arsenal are unlikely to match a three-year guarantee.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are actively pursuing wide options. As per TeamTalk, the club has placed Trossard on a list of potential outgoings this summer.

Arsenal are considering selling Trossard to raise funds for a move for Real Madrid's Rodrygo.

The Gunners also maintain interest in Eberechi Eze, though according to some reports the pursuit of a left-winger is not contingent on landing him.

Trossard is currently training with Arsenal, but his future remains uncertain.

While he is not pushing for a move, the next few weeks will be crucial as Brentford consider a formal bid.
