July 14 : Winger Leandro Trossard will join Turkish side Besiktas from Arsenal, the Premier League club said on Tuesday, ending the Belgium international's three-year spell in north London.
The 31-year-old made 174 appearances in all competitions for Arsenal, scoring 36 goals after joining from Brighton & Hove Albion in January 2023.
British media reported that Besiktas will pay around £17 million ($23 million) for Trossard, whose contract was due to run until 2027 with an option for a further year.
Arsenal said Trossard had been given permission to travel to Istanbul for a medical.
Trossard scored six goals and provided six assists in 31 league appearances as Arsenal, under Mikel Arteta, ended their 22-year wait for a league title.
