Arsenal attacker Leandro Trossard
Arsenal are in contention to win both the Premier League and the Champions League this season.
The Gunners are leading the table, three points ahead of second placed Manchester City, who have a game in hand.
Arsenal face Atlético Madrid in the two-legged Champions League semifinal and the first leg will take place in Spain later today.
The Premier League side come into this tie with a 1-0 win over Newcastle United. Leandro Trossard was an unused substitute against the Magpies and is unlikely to start against the La Liga side.
Ahead of the European clash, Wednesday’s edition of Het Belang van Limburg‘s looks at his performances and Emirates future after this season.
Arteta already blocked Arsenal exit
The newspaper points out Aston Villa, Borussia Dortmund, Galatasaray and Beşiktaş were all keen on the forward. However, Mikel Arteta vetoed his transfer and Arsenal ended up improving his contract.
As of now, it’s unclear whether the Belgium international will continue at the north London club.
His contract expires in 2027 and therefore, the next window will be Arsenal’s last chance to cash in from his sale. There’s a ‘strong chance’ that Leandro Trossard is ‘in final weeks in Arsenal shirt’.
The World Cup allows the former Brighton & Hove Albion man to put himself in sptlight if he wants to move elsewhere.
Trossard managed seven goals and nine assists from 44 matches so far. He failed to score and contributed three assists in 2026 while. Despite this, HBVL points out he’s in the north London club’s top five ‘influential players’ this season.
If Arsenal and the 31-year-old decide to part ways in the summer, he wouldn’t be short of options.
He joined the Gunners in January 2023 and managed 35 goals and 32 assists from 168 matches.
Arsenal searching for attacker
Mikel Arteta has the Belgian and Gabriel Martinelli as the two options on the left wing, and the duo’s futures need sorting. Faced with the possibility of losing one or both of them, Arsenal seem to have acted.
The Gunners have identified Ajax star Mika Godts as an option. On Tuesday, Sport Witness relayed news their scout will follow him live against PSV Eindhoven later this weekend.
Two months ago, Godts’ agent Niels De Jonck said he’s not surprised at Arsenal links and pushed his client to secure a big move in the summer.
