Leandro Trossard deal edges closer
The Arsenal star will sign a four-year contract with the Turkish club. He had 8 goals and 11 assists last season.
The 31-year-old has been a very important player for Arsenal since joining the club, and he helped them win the Premier League title last season. His ability to slot into multiple attacking roles and create opportunities for his teammates has made him a vital option for Mikel Arteta. He can also score important goals for his team.
Trossard has proven himself at club and country level, and there is no doubt he will be an excellent acquisition for Besiktas as well. The Turkish outfit is looking to challenge for major trophies, and they need more quality in the final third. The technically gifted Belgian International could make a big difference for them. Apart from his quality as a footballer, his experience and leadership could prove invaluable to the dressing room as well.

Arsenal must replace Trossard properly
It will be interesting to see whether Arsenal can properly replace him. They have been linked with multiple attacking players in recent weeks. They need someone who can take on defenders and inject some much-needed pace and width into the attack.
With Trossard leaving the club, Gabriel Martinelli is the only left winger at the club right now. Arsenal must add more quality in that area of the pitch before the window closes. They will be hoping to defend their Premier League crown and win the Champions League in the upcoming campaign.
