Arsenal has confirmed an agreement to transfer Leandro Trossard to the Turkish club Besiktas for £17.1 million. The 31-year-old player is currently in Istanbul to undergo a medical examination to finalize the move.
Why it matters
This marks a significant roster change for the Premier League club and a major acquisition for the Turkish Super Lig.
Arsenal have confirmed that they have reached an agreement with Besiktas for the transfer of Leandro Trossard , who has been pictured in his new kit for the first time.
Over the weekend, it was reported that Trossard was to undergo his Besiktas medical on Wednesday after the two clubs shook hands on a 20m ( 17.1m) transfer.
Trossard's switch to Istanbul was delayed due to Belgium's participation in the World Cup, which came to an end in their 2-1 quarter-final defeat to Spain last Friday.
However, the former Brighton & Hove Albion man is now on the cusp of completing his next career move, as confirmed by Arsenal in a statement on Tuesday afternoon.
"We can confirm that we have reached an agreement with Besiktas for the permanent transfer of Leandro Trossard," Arsenal said.
