**Leandro Trossard has given the green light to a move to Besiktas, with Arsenal set to receive around €20million (£17m) as the Belgian heads to Istanbul on Tuesday for a medical and to sign his contract.**
According to Fabrizio Romano, personal terms and the fee – €18m guaranteed plus €2m in add-ons – were agreed after Trossard approved the switch on Monday, with David Ornstein also reporting the Belgian is set to join the Turkish giants in a deal worth £17.2m. The 31-year-old has just 12 months left on his Arsenal contract and won the Premier League title with the club last season, scoring the winner in a 1-0 victory at West Ham in May.
Christos Tzolis Move Set To Accelerate Once Trossard Deal Completes
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Arsenal have been chasing Club Brugge winger [Christos Tzolis](https://readarsenal.com/2026/07/13/tzolis-arsenal-transfer-trossard-decision/) for weeks and, according to Ornstein, are ready to move as soon as Trossard’s exit is finalised, with Andrea Berta’s recruitment team viewing the Greece international as a natural replacement on the left. Trossard scored 36 goals in 174 appearances across three-and-a-half years at the Emirates, but leaves with just a year left on his deal after agreeing reduced terms last year that raised his wages without extending his stay.
Mikel Arteta’s side remain in the market for a left-sided attacker regardless of how the Tzolis pursuit develops, with [Morgan Rogers](https://readarsenal.com/2026/07/12/morgan-rogers-arsenal-transfer-fee/) and Bradley Barcola also on the club’s shortlist this summer.
