Arsenal are open to selling Leandro Trossard after agreeing a £52 million deal to sign Noni Madueke from Chelsea, according to reports in the media that have emerged over the past 14-48 hours.
The 23-year-old recorded 16 goal contributions in 41 games in all competitions last season, but has been linked with a surprise £50million move to Arsenal.
Chelsea have been doing alot of transfer business over the past few weeks and after bringing in Joao Pedro from Brighton, the Blues are looking to free up some space in that attack, if you believe all the reports in the media.
Now – an agreement has now been struck, Fabrizio Romano reports, with Chelsea accepting *ARSENAL*’s offer which is in excess of £50million with add-ons included, and his arrival will mean the end of the line for Trossard at the Emirates.
According to The Times, Fenerbahce have now agreed personal terms with the 30-year-old and will now negotiate a transfer fee with Arsenal, and it’s understood that Arsenal will demand a £20m fee for Trossard and are open to letting him leave the club before the end of the transfer window.
Speaking last season, Arteta described Trossard as ‘a bit of a moaner’ but insisted the Belgium international is ‘a really good character’ in his Arsenal squad.
‘Leo, naturally, is a bit of a moaner but I like that because he’s very competitive. When you have training sessions, he’s always busy with the referee’s decision, because he wants to win. That’s what I love,’ Arteta said.
‘He always wants to be the best and when he’s not there, he’s not happy. But that’s what pushes him. That’s where he comes in the pitch, he can make an impact because he’s got that drive, that anger which says: ‘I’m gonna show you.’ I love that about him.
‘He’s a really good character. They all want to play. Always want to play. Leo has shown a lot more consistency in the last 12 months, he’s deserved that. He’s had a lot of competition in his position. That’s it. Raise the level. If he plays at that level then he will play like anyone else.
‘He has the capacity to do something special in the final third.’
