Overview
- Leandro Trossard has left Arsenal for Beşiktaş on a permanent deal reported at about €18 million, a move the club confirmed this week.
- Arsenal have reached an agreement with Club Brugge to sign Christos Tzolis for roughly €40 million and expect the 24‑year‑old to undergo a medical before the transfer is finalised.
- Talks with Morgan Rogers’ representatives are described as advanced and personal terms are said to be close, but Aston Villa value the England forward at well over £100 million, which could complicate any club‑to‑club bid.
- Concerns over William Saliba’s persistent back problem, which may need surgery, have pushed Arsenal to identify short‑term defensive cover and consider targets such as Ezri Konsa.
- The window is being driven by an urgent need to raise funds and move quickly in a compressed post‑World Cup market, with Arsenal already converting Piero Hincapié’s loan to a permanent deal and completing early squad reshaping.
