Journalist says Arsenal would have sold Trossard if a good offer came in

Some reports indicate that Arsenal rejected offers for Leandro Trossard during the summer transfer window, despite adding several new attacking players to their squad.

The arrivals of Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke have pushed the Belgian further down the pecking order at the Emirates. Yet Arsenal continue to view him as one of their most dependable performers, even rewarding him with an improved contract not long ago.

As the main European transfer window closed, interest came from Besiktas, whose own window remained open. The Turkish club reportedly sought to secure his signature, but Arsenal are said to have turned down their approach, making it clear they had no intention of selling the former Brighton man.

Arsenal’s Surprising Decision

The decision surprised some observers, as the signing of new attackers will inevitably reduce Trossard’s opportunities for regular game time. The situation has sparked debate about his role and future at the club, especially given the competition he now faces in wide and forward positions.

Arsenal’s stance suggests that they still regard him as an important squad option, but his path to the starting line-up looks increasingly difficult. For a player who has previously delivered key performances, this represents a challenging shift in circumstances.

Charles Watts’ Perspective

Commenting on the reports, Charles Watts shared his thoughts with Sports Mole. He stated: “I don’t think it was a no-brainer [to keep him]. If there was a good offer on the table, if I was in charge, I would have certainly considered it. There’s enough strength in depth to cope with his exit.”

These remarks highlight the argument that Arsenal could have been open to letting Trossard leave if the right proposal had been made. The suggestion reinforces the view that, despite his quality, he may not be essential to the club’s plans moving forward.

Now that he remains at the Emirates, Trossard faces the prospect of limited minutes and greater competition for a place. While Arsenal clearly value him as a reliable option, the months ahead may determine whether he can still carve out a meaningful role amid the growing depth in their attacking department.
