Arsenal have reached an agreement on a transfer fee to sell Leandro Trossard to Besiktas, with the Belgium forward given permission to travel to Istanbul for a medical.

Trossard, 31, signed for Arsenal from Brighton in January 2023 for £21 million plus add-ons, and has been under contract with the Gunners until 2027.

The Turkish Super Lig club confirmed the development in an official statement:

"Negotiations have commenced with professional football player Leandro Trossard and his club Arsenal regarding his permanent transfer."

During his time at Arsenal, Trossard made 174 appearances, contributing 36 goals and 34 assists as Mikel Arteta's side claimed last season's Premier League title.

He was a central figure in Arsenal's campaign, starting 21 Premier League matches and featuring from the first whistle in the UEFA Champions League final defeat against Paris St-Germain.

On the international stage, Trossard starred at this summer's World Cup, starting all six of Belgium's matches and scoring twice as the Red Devils reached the quarter-finals.
