The Belgium international has been a key player for the Gunners since joining from Brighton midway through the 2022/23 season, although it’s fair to say his form has dipped of late.
However, Arsenal appear keen to keep Trossard and are discussing a new contract for the player, according to Football Insider , although they add that West Ham are among the teams keeping a close eye on his situation.
With Arsenal star leaving, Arteta faces more big questions!
However, the article suggests that Trossard would not be interested in joining the Hammers, with the most concrete interest coming from Saudi Arabian Professional League club Al-Ittihad this summer.
Leandro Trossard – should Arsenal keep him or replace him?
Trossard clearly has an important role to play in this Arsenal side, but he might be a better option off the bench than a regular starter in Mikel Arteta’s side.
The 29-year-old scored 17 goals in all competitions last season but often performed better when coming on as a super substitute.
While Trossard is a clinical finisher who can handle a variety of offensive roles, his impact on games as a starter may be limited, so the AFC would be wise to consider replacing him.
A recent report from Todo Fichajes claimed that Arsenal are considering West Ham United’s Mohamed Kudus as a potential replacement for Trossard, so some plans may already be in place to replace the former Brighton man.
Kudos might be a good addition as he has more spark in his game, so it might be worth saving the money they would have invested in giving Trossard a new contract.
