Brentford Plot Surprise Swoop for Arsenal’s Leandro Trossard

Brentford in contact with Trossard as the club explores options to reinforce their attacking lineup ahead of the summer transfer window.

Brentford have reportedly initiated contact with Arsenal over a potential summer transfer for Belgian forward Leandro Trossard, according to Football Transfers.

The West London club are said to be eyeing the experienced attacker as a replacement for Yoane Wissa, who is pushing for a move to Champions League-bound Newcastle United.

Trossard, 30, has been a reliable figure under Mikel Arteta, contributing 10 goals across all competitions last season and playing a key role in Arsenal’s Premier League runner-up finish and Champions League semi-final run.

His versatility and experience make him an attractive option for Brentford, who are looking to maintain squad stability amid Wissa’s likely departure.

Brentford are reportedly prepared to offer Trossard a three-year deal—an appealing proposition for a player approaching the twilight of his career.

While Arsenal have begun early discussions about a contract extension, they remain open to a sale if the offer is right. Trossard himself has indicated to Arteta that he would consider leaving if a “too good to turn down” offer came along.

With Arsenal actively pursuing new attacking options like Eberechi Eze and Rodrygo, Trossard’s long-term role at the Emirates may be under threat. The Gunners are also looking to balance their books after a busy transfer window, and Trossard is reportedly on a list of potential outgoings.
