Turkish Süper Lig powerhouse Fenerbahçe has reportedly set its sights on Arsenal’s versatile forward Leandro Trossard as they look to bolster their attacking options. This interest comes as Arsenal appears willing to cash in on the Belgian international this summer.
According to a report from Turkish outlet Fotospor, Fenerbahçe is keen to add a dynamic attacker to their squad, identifying the 30-year-old Trossard as a prime target.
Fotospor suggest that Arsenal will demand approximately €20 million to part ways with the player.

Trossard has enjoyed a productive spell at the Emirates Stadium since his arrival from Brighton & Hove Albion in January 2023. He quickly integrated into the North London club, proving to be a reliable backup attacker over the past two and a half seasons.
To date, the Belgian international has made 124 appearances for Arsenal, contributing 28 goals and 23 assists.
Despite his contributions, Trossard’s future at Arsenal remains uncertain. Recent reports have linked him with moves to the Saudi Pro League and several Serie A clubs, but a transfer to Turkey now seems increasingly plausible with Fenerbahçe’s strong interest.
Fenerbahçe’s pursuit of Trossard is understandable given their search for a prolific wide attacker amidst uncertainties surrounding their current wingers.
Several candidates, including Jadon Sancho, have emerged on their radar, with Trossard now a prominent option. Fener Ajans indicates that the Turkish giants are “working tirelessly to have Leandro Trossard join the Portugal camp,” suggesting an urgency in their pursuit.
While Arsenal is reportedly happy to facilitate a sale, it remains to be seen if Fenerbahçe will be prepared to meet the €20 million valuation for the 30-year-old. The coming weeks will likely reveal the fate of the versatile Belgian attacker.
