Leandro Trossard needs a move

The 31-year-old has been an important player for Arsenal since joining the club from Brighton, and he played a key role in their Premier League title win last season. However, he is in the twilight stages of his career, and this is the right time for Arsenal to move him on.

Turkey move would be ideal for Trossard

Trossard will be looking to play regularly at this stage of his career, and the move to Turkey would be ideal for him. He was a squad player for Arsenal last season, and his game time would only go down if he stayed.

He will not want to sit on the bench at a big club at this stage of his career. He will be able to play every week in Turkey and showcase his qualities. He has already proven himself in England, and this is the right time for him to take on a new challenge.

It will be interesting to see whether Arsenal can properly replace him. They need a dynamic attacker who can score goals and create opportunities. The Belgian was versatile enough to slot into multiple attacking roles as well.
