On Thursday afternoon, Arsenal started negotiating a transfer for the Belgian forward. As of right now, a deal worth £21 million plus add-on has been reached.
Arsenal has been keeping tabs on Trossard ever since he played for Genk, and the club now appears set to sign the 28-year-old after his relationship with Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi fell apart recently. Due to his "bad attitude," the Belgian international was left off the matchday roster, and Trossard's representative demanded that the team sell the attacker this month in a statement.
Trossard's versatility could be crucial since Mikel Arteta has been anxious to get a player who can play throughout the frontline. Gabriel Jesus will be out till the beginning of next month due to injuries.
Reportminds Blog understands that a total fee of £27 million plus any further £6 million has been agreed for the 28-year-old whose contract expires at the end of the current campaign.
There are several benefits to signing Trossard, even though it goes against the Gunners' recent transfer trend. He is in the prime of his career at the age of 28, and the Premier League has already seen success with him.
The Belgian international is tied with Eddie Nketiah, Gabriel Martinelli, and Bukayo Saka with seven goals in all competitions thus far this season; Martin Odegaard is the only Arsenal player with more goals.
