Leandro Trossard has just one year left to run on his Arsenal contract
Arsenal star Leandro Trossard will sit down and consider his options regarding his future after the World Cup.
The forward has just one year remaining on his Gunners contract and his reps FOKUS have already received vast interest in their client’s services this summer.
Turkish side Besiktas have made Trossard one of their top summer targets. They tried to sign the player last August but were told that the former Brighton man wasn’t available.
Sources close to the Turkish club have indicated Besiktas have already made a verbal offer for Trossard worth up to €20million (£17.25m).

Should he communicate that he wants to make the move, that is the kind of figure Arsenal would deem financially acceptable given his contract is up in 2027.
For now, Trossard is fully focused on Belgium’s World Cup campaign as they prepare for their Round of 32 clash against Senegal in Seattle.
Trossard’s entourage have already made it clear that he does not want distractions during the tournament, so official talks over his future have been shelved for now.
That said, he is thought to be realistic enough to know that a transfer could well be on the cards as Arsenal are looking to recruit a new left-winger – possibly two.
Saudi Pro League side Al-Diraiyah like Trossard, however, he may yet decide to stay in Europe’s top-five domestic leagues.
Roma and Fenerbahce were just two of the clubs keen to sign Trossard last summer.
When quizzed on his future several weeks ago ahead of Belgium’s World Cup warm-up fixture against Tunisia, Trossard said: “At the moment I am still at Arsenal, so there is not much to say about that.”
The forward was then pushed on whether he could stay with the Premier League champions, to which he replied: “At the moment, yes. At the moment I am still at Arsenal and we will see what happens.”
Trossard mustered eight goals and 11 assists last season in all competitions and started the Champions League final defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.
He has also been in fine form at the World Cup, scoring two goals and registering one assist for Belgium.
Last summer, he was handed a pay-rise to reflect his importance to Mikel Arteta’s side but while changes were made to the terms of his contract, the length of his deal remained the same.
