Leandro Trossard could make Saudi move after Arsenal bid submitted – sources
Arsenal star Leandro Trossard will be a viable target for Saudi Pro League clubs once again in the summer transfer window, sources have told Football Insider.
Trossard, 30, will have just 12 months remaining on his contract at the Emirates Stadium in June.
Saudi clubs were keen on a move for the Belgium international last summer (2024) but Arsenal chose to keep him at the club.
Football Insider revealed in September that Al-Ittihad submitted a bid of around £30million after the close of the English transfer window.
Arsenal star Trossard ‘ticks a lot of boxes’ for Saudi clubs
As such, Mikel Arteta had no intention of moving the winger on – and has been proven right in his stance after major injuries to the likes of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.
It is believed he ticks a lot of boxes for clubs in Saudi Arabia who are keen to land more marquee signings from Europe.

Trossard has made 39 appearances across all competitions this term, with 26 of those outings coming as part of the starting lineup.
The 41-cap Belgium international has hit five goals and notched seven assists this season.
He joined Arsenal just over two years ago from Brighton and has scored 23 goals for the club.
Arsenal face devastating Saka blow
The Gunners’ Premier League title challenge may be all but over but they still have a Champions League campaign to manage, with PSV next on the agenda in the Round of 16.
However, Football Insider has been told Arsenal would be “lucky” if injured superstar Saka plays again in the 2024-25 campaign.
Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus have already been ruled out for the season, while Martinelli has also been on the treatment table in recent weeks – forcing Trossard to play a starring role.
Saka had managed nine goals and 13 assists in 24 appearances across all competitions before his injury.
