The Belgian forward is travelling to Istanbul to finalise the transfer, marking the end of his spell at Arsenal after establishing himself as an important attacking option under manager Mikel Arteta.

Trossard joined Arsenal from Brighton & Hove Albion in January 2023 and quickly became known for his versatility, ability to operate across the front line and capacity to deliver in important matches.

During his time at the Emirates Stadium, the forward contributed goals and assists while providing tactical flexibility in Arteta’s attacking system. His experience in the Premier League and European competitions made him a valuable member of the squad.

The move to Besiktas represents a new chapter for the 31-year-old, who is expected to bring creativity and attacking experience to the Turkish side as they strengthen their squad.

The reported €20 million agreement highlights Besiktas’ ambition to add proven European talent, while Arsenal’s decision allows the club to reshape its attacking options ahead of the new campaign.

Trossard’s departure comes as clubs across Europe continue to make significant moves in the transfer market, with experienced players increasingly becoming key targets for teams seeking immediate impact.
