Arsenal have reportedly received a £17 million offer for Leandro Trossard from Saudi Pro League newcomers Al-Diraiyah, with the Belgian international emerging as the latest Premier League player to attract interest from the Middle East during the summer transfer window.
According to the latest transfer reports, Al-Diraiyah have stepped up their pursuit of the versatile forward as they look to strengthen their squad following promotion to the Saudi Pro League. The newly promoted club are said to view Trossard as a marquee signing capable of adding quality and experience to their attacking options.
While the reported bid has sparked fresh speculation over the 31-year-old’s future, Arsenal have yet to publicly respond, and it remains unclear whether the offer meets the club’s valuation of the player.
Trossard has been an important member of Mikel Arteta’s squad since joining from Brighton & Hove Albion in January 2023. Renowned for his versatility, the Belgium international has featured across the front line and in attacking midfield, regularly delivering important goals and assists despite often rotating with Arsenal’s established starters.
His ability to perform in multiple positions has made him a valuable squad player during Arsenal’s recent title challenges and Champions League campaigns.
Despite entering the latter stages of his career, Trossard remains highly regarded within the Arsenal setup. However, reports suggest the club could consider offers for several experienced players this summer if suitable proposals arrive, particularly as Arteta continues to reshape his squad ahead of another demanding campaign.
For Al-Diraiyah, securing a player of Trossard’s pedigree would represent a significant statement of ambition. The Saudi club have reportedly identified experienced European talent as a priority as they prepare for their first season in the top flight.
Financially, the move could prove attractive for the player, with Saudi Pro League clubs continuing to offer lucrative contracts in an effort to attract established stars from Europe’s leading leagues.
Nevertheless, Arsenal ‘s decision is likely to depend on whether they have a replacement lined up should Trossard depart. The Gunners have been linked with several attacking reinforcements throughout the transfer window, but there has been no indication that a deal is close.
As things stand, the reported £17 million proposal remains part of ongoing transfer speculation, with no agreement understood to have been reached between the clubs or the player.
With several weeks remaining in the transfer window, Trossard’s future is expected to remain a talking point as Arsenal weigh the value of retaining an experienced and dependable attacker against the opportunity to generate funds for further additions to Arteta’s squad.
