Overview
- Belgium overturned a 2-0 deficit to beat Senegal 3-2 after extra time, with Leandro Trossard supplying the cross for Youri Tielemans’ 89th-minute equaliser in the match played on Wednesday, July 1.
- Trossard played 109 minutes in the Seattle Stadium game, was briefly involved in a heated exchange with Tielemans at a hydration break, and was substituted late in extra time.
- Belgian outlets gave Trossard generally positive ratings of about 6–7 out of 10 and match reports credit him with tournament-leading chance creation and two goals plus an assist so far.
- Several outlets have reported renewed transfer activity, saying Arsenal have accepted a reported £17m offer and that Trossard is open to a move to Aston Villa, but those claims are based on limited sources and are unconfirmed.
- Trossard’s sustained World Cup form could prompt Arsenal to rethink any sale given he is under contract until 2027 and continuing to produce key moments on football’s biggest stage.
