Overview

• Arsenal have shifted focus to funding new arrivals by opening talks on offloading squad players following heavy summer recruitment.
• Reports from Turkish outlets and The Times indicate that José Mourinho personally pitched his project to Trossard, though no formal agreement has been announced.
• The 30-year-old winger joined Arsenal from Brighton in January 2023, making 124 appearances and scoring 28 goals across all competitions.
• Fenerbahce have already added striker Jhon Duran and view Trossard as a creative reinforcement to challenge for domestic honours.
• Any transfer will depend on Fenerbahce triggering the £20m asking price and securing international clearance before the window closes.
