Leandro Trossard’s representatives are reportedly in discussions with Arsenal regarding the Belgian forward’s current contract — but not over an extension.
Trossard, who joined the Gunners from Brighton & Hove Albion in January 2023, has grown into an important member of Mikel Arteta’s squad.
His versatility, intelligence in the final third, and ability to contribute goals and assists have made him a valuable asset, especially in high-stakes matches. While not always a guaranteed starter, Trossard has delivered consistently when called upon, often proving to be a game-changer from the bench or in rotation.
The 29-year-old is believed to be seeking a wage that better reflects his impact and standing within the squad. Arsenal, like many top clubs, regularly review player contracts to maintain harmony and reward performances — particularly for players contributing to the club’s ambitions at the top end of the Premier League and in Europe.
The decision to enter talks over salary — rather than term extension — suggests that both parties are satisfied with the existing contract length. It also reflects a growing trend among elite clubs where players and agents focus more on maximizing earnings during peak performance years, rather than locking into extended deals.
As Arsenal prepare for another campaign challenging on multiple fronts, securing harmony within the squad will be vital. Whether the club agrees to Trossard’s wage demands remains to be seen, but his representatives are clearly intent on ensuring he is compensated in line with his contributions. Fans will now wait to see how the club responds, especially amid wider conversations around squad investment and sustainability.
