Arsenal have reached an agreement with Leandro Trossard over a contract adjustment that will see the Belgian forward receive a significant pay rise.
The new terms do not include an extension, meaning his deal still runs until 2027, but the revision reflects his growing importance under Mikel Arteta.
The 30-year-old, who joined from Brighton & Hove Albion in January 2023, has become a reliable and versatile figure in the Arsenal squad.
Capable of playing across the front line and in deeper attacking roles, he has contributed 28 goals and 23 assists in 124 appearances for the club.
His two-footed ability and adaptability have made him a key option whether starting matches or providing impact from the bench.
Arsenal’s decision to improve Trossard’s contract follows months of discussions, with the club eager to reward his influence while also ensuring his salary reflects his role within the team.
There had been speculation over the summer about a possible departure, but sources have indicated that no exit is currently on the table.
Instead, the pay rise underlines Arsenal’s commitment to keeping him as part of their long-term plans.
Trossard endured a frustrating pre-season after suffering a groin injury during the friendly defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in Hong Kong, which forced him to miss much of the club’s preparation.
He returned to fitness in time to be included on the bench against Manchester United in the Premier League opener last weekend, although he was not called upon.
With Leeds United visiting the Emirates Stadium this Saturday, he will be pushing for his first appearance of the campaign.
Since signing for £27 million, Trossard has provided Arsenal with consistency and creativity during their challenges for domestic and European honours.
His performances have been particularly valuable in giving Arteta tactical flexibility, especially in rotating with Gabriel Martinelli on the left flank.
The addition of Noni Madueke this summer has added further competition for places, yet Trossard’s experience and technical quality ensure he remains an integral part of the squad.
The adjustment to his deal comes at a time when Arsenal’s summer transfer activity has largely settled and the squad is beginning to take its final shape.
Securing Trossard’s future on improved terms provides depth and stability as Arteta prepares his side for another demanding campaign across multiple competitions.
