Leandro Trossard has already decided on his new club. The Belgian international is leaving Arsenal to become the new signing for Besiktas, in a deal valued at 20 million euros between fixed amount and variables. The attacker has signed a contract until 2029, closing a three and a half season spell at the London club, where he earned the trust of Mikel Arteta and was a key piece in winning the Premier League, a title the 'gunners' hadn't lifted for 22 years.

The departure of the winger marks one of the standout moves in the English market. Although he was never a permanent starter, his ability to show up in key moments made the Belgian player one of the most reliable resources for the coaching staff. He will now face a new challenge in Turkey, where Besiktas has presented an ambitious project and a long-term contract to him.

At 31 years old, Trossard believes it is time to embark on a new sporting adventure. The Turkish club had been negotiating with Arsenal for weeks and finally reached an agreement to secure a signing that aims to elevate the competitive level of the squad for national and European competitions.

Trossard leaves Arsenal as one of Arteta's most dependable players

Trossard's spell at Arsenal will be remembered for his consistency and ability to perform both as a starter and coming off the bench. He arrived at the Emirates Stadium in January 2023 from Brighton and quickly became one of Arteta's most trusted players.

During his time at the London club, he played 174 official matches, scored 36 goals, and provided 34 assists, figures that reflect his impact in the English champions' attack. In the 2025/26 season, he featured in 50 games, scoring 8 goals and delivering 11 assists, significantly contributing to the historic league title.

The Spanish coach found in the Belgian international a versatile player, capable of performing on either flank, as an attacking midfielder, or even as a false nine when circumstances demanded.

An indispensable soldier for Mikel Arteta

One of Arteta's great achievements during his time at Arsenal was building a squad committed to a collective idea. Within that group, Trossard epitomized the type of player willing to take on any role for the team's benefit.

Besiktas makes a bold bet on a proven player

Besiktas had been monitoring the forward's contract situation and has finally managed to close a significant deal to bolster their squad. The agreement includes a payment of 18 million euros fixed plus 2 million in variables, thus reaching the agreed 20 million euros with Arsenal.

The Turkish club believes Trossard's addition will bring international experience, technical quality, and offensive leadership to a team aiming to establish itself once again among the continent's elite.

The contract until 2029 demonstrates the trust placed in the Belgian international, who arrives as one of the star signings of the summer for the Istanbul team.

Arsenal begins a new offensive renewal

Trossard's departure also sets a new stage for Arsenal, which is working on recruiting new wingers to maintain the competitive level of a squad that recently clinched the Premier League. Rumors suggest the London club is already considering several options to reinforce the wings after the Belgian player's exit.

From an economic standpoint, the operation is also positive for the English club. With the forward entering the final year of his contract, the transfer allows for a significant income for a 31-year-old player, facilitating new investments during this transfer window.

The sporting balance of his time at the Emirates Stadium is hardly questionable. Beyond his statistics, he left behind an image of unwavering commitment to the project led by Arteta and actively contributed to one of the club's recent major successes.

With this move, Trossard concludes a highly successful spell at Arsenal to embark on a new adventure at Besiktas. The Turkish team adds a proven player who arrives following the Premier League triumph and will aim to transfer all his experience to the Turkish league, while Arteta's team faces the challenge of replacing one of their most dependable rotational players.
