'Yet to respond' - Arsenal 'receive £19m bid' for experienced attacker

Arsenal have reportedly received a £19.1m bid from Besiktas for attacker Leandro Trossard.

The 30-year-old was an unused substitute during the Gunners' most recent game last weekend, when they lost 1-0 at title rivals Liverpool.

Mikel Arteta's men were aiming to finally win at Anfield but conceded the only goal of the match in the final 10 minutes to suffer defeat.

Trossard has fallen down the pecking order in North London over the past year, especially following a number of summer arrivals.

Since making the permanent move to the Emirates from Brighton & Hove Albion in January 2023, Trossard has featured in 125 games for Arsenal.

Arsenal fringe player Trossard wanted by Turkish giants?

According to Turkish outlet Sozcu Spor via The Sun, Belgium international Trossard could be set for a move away from Arsenal this month.

The report states that Turkish Super Lig outfit Besiktas are keen on securing the services of the winger on a permanent deal.

It is believed that the Black Eagles have submitted a bid worth £19.1m for Trossard to Arsenal, who are yet to respond to the offer.

The 30-year-old supposedly caught the interest of Premier League outfits Aston Villa and Brentford during the summer transfer window.

The trading point in Turkey remains open until September 12, meaning that Besiktas have a reasonable amount of time to hash out a deal with Arsenal for the signature of Trossard.

Trossard's tricky Emirates situation

Starting 28 matches in the Premier League last term, Trossard was a key part of Arsenal title chase, grabbing 15 goal contributions.

However, barring major injuries to his teammates, it is extremely improbable that the Belgian receives anywhere near as much game time this season.

The Gunners have bolstered their attacking ranks, bringing Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke from Crystal Palace and Chelsea respectively.
