Summer departures expected
--------------------------
Arsenal are expected to offload several players when the campaign concludes, with the club looking to refresh their squad and maintain competitiveness in the transfer market.
Arteta’s side is working to ensure the right balance of personnel, and significant decisions regarding player futures are anticipated during the summer window.
According to [Football365](https://www.justarsenal.com/arsenal-man-is-prepared-to-join-napoli-when-this-season-ends/414036), Arsenal and Trossard have agreed that he will depart the club at the end of this term, paving the way for a potential move to Serie A.
Napoli accelerate pursuit
-------------------------
The Italian side has admired the Belgian for some time and is now expected to accelerate their pursuit, encouraged by the realistic possibility of completing a summer transfer.
Napoli could view Trossard as an experienced attacker capable of making an immediate impact in their squad, while Arsenal may see the deal as an opportunity to generate funds for reinvestment elsewhere.
The north London side are reportedly preparing to revive their interest in Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams as part of their plans to refresh the attacking unit. A move for the Spanish winger would suggest the club are seeking more pace, directness and long-term upside in forward areas.
Trossard has proven his worth since arriving at the Emirates Stadium, adapting seamlessly to Arteta’s system and providing valuable versatility across the front line. The Belgian has featured prominently in Arsenal’s campaigns and established himself as a trusted option in key moments.
If an agreement can be reached between all parties, the transfer may prove beneficial for both Arsenal and the player. The Gunners would move forward with their planned squad upgrades, while Trossard could secure a prominent new role in Italy at the next stage of his career.
