Arsenal are expected to be busy in the transfer market over the coming weeks.
While most of the attention will be on potential arrivals, Andrea Berta knows player sales are just as important if the club wants to remain financially strong and sustainable.
The Arsenal sporting director has spent the last five months exploring possible departures, and several members of the Premier League-winning squad could move on this summer.
One player who now appears to have genuine interest from abroad is Leandro Trossard.
👀 Who is the FIRST Arsenal player Andrea Berta must sell this summer?
Arsenal could receive a ‘serious offer’ for Leandro Trossard in the coming days
Trossard’s future has become one of the more intriguing stories of Arsenal’s summer.
The Belgian played an important role in the Gunners’ title-winning campaign and once again delivered a number of big moments when his team needed them most.
Trossard’s winning goal against West Ham may well have been one of the defining moments of the entire season.
However, interest in the forward is growing.
According to Ajansspor, Turkish giants Besiktas are preparing to reignite their pursuit of Trossard after failing to sign him last year.
The report claims the club are determined to strengthen their wing options and view the Arsenal attacker as a world-class addition.
It is also suggested that Besiktas are preparing a ‘serious offer’ and are expected to approach Arsenal in the coming days.
Trossard was recently described as a ‘global superstar’ following Arsenal’s Premier League triumph, so it is no surprise to see clubs showing interest.
The question now is whether Arsenal are willing to listen.
If Leandro Trossard isn’t Arsenal’s most clutch player, who is? 🤔
It’s the right time for Arsenal to part ways with Leandro Trossard
Trossard deserves enormous credit for everything he has done at Arsenal.
Signed after the club missed out on Mykhaylo Mudryk, the Belgian has consistently delivered important goals and performances in difficult moments.
Trossard has been one of Arteta’s most underrated signings and has provided excellent value for money.
That said, there is a strong argument that this summer represents the perfect time to sell.
Trossard is now 31, Arsenal are looking to refresh their attack, and his value is unlikely to increase from this point onwards.
If Besiktas arrive with the right offer, Berta may decide that cashing in on a player who has already given Arsenal some fantastic memories is simply the smart business decision.
