Since joining Arsenal from Brighton in January 2023 for a modest £27 million, Leandro Trossard has proven to be one of the Premier League’s shrewdest signings. The Belgian forward, now 30, has become an integral part of Mikel Arteta’s squad, blending versatility, clinical finishing, and a knack for delivering in big moments.
As his contract nears its final year in June 2026, speculation about his future at the Emirates is heating up. So, what lies ahead for Trossard at Arsenal?
Trossard’s impact is undeniable. With 28 goals and 19 assists in just over two seasons, he’s a dream squad player, capable of playing across the front line or in attacking midfield. His recent form—four goals in his last four Premier League games, including a brace against Ipswich Town—underlines his value, especially with injuries to key players like Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.

His composed finish in the 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace further staked his claim for a starting spot in Arsenal’s upcoming Champions League semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain.
However, Trossard’s future isn’t without uncertainty. With only 12 months left on his contract by summer 2025, Arsenal face a decision: extend his deal or cash in. Interest from Saudi Pro League clubs has persisted, with a loan-to-buy offer from Al-Ittihad rejected last summer.

Reports suggest Arsenal might consider selling Leandro Trossard or Martinelli to fund a marquee signing, like Alexander Isak or Nico Williams, though Trossard’s camp has hinted at his desire to stay, with contract talks reportedly on the horizon.
For Arsenal, keeping Trossard makes sense. His experience, versatility, and proven output are vital for a squad chasing silverware on multiple fronts.
Arteta’s trust in him, evidenced by his regular starts during injury crises, speaks volumes. As Trossard himself said, “I’m really happy here and I still want to win things.” With Arsenal’s title hopes fading but a Champions League run in sight, Trossard’s role could define his—and Arsenal’s—season.
