Overview

• Multiple outlets citing The Athletic say Leandro Trossard has agreed a salary increase that keeps his agreement running to 2027 rather than adding years.
• Reporting indicates Arsenal are not actively trying to move the 30‑year‑old on, with no exit currently on the table.
• Supporters reacted angrily on social media, interpreting the move as a sign the club will not fund a late push for a new left‑winger before the September 1 deadline.
• Analysts argue the higher wage could make a sale harder and question the choice given the summer arrival of Noni Madueke and likely reduced minutes for Trossard.
• Coverage notes Trossard’s output since joining from Brighton—28 goals and 23 assists in 124 games—as the club’s rationale for aligning his pay with his role.
