Overview

• Besiktas have submitted an offer of about €22m (£19m) for Leandro Trossard, according to Turkish outlet Sozcu, with the Turkish window open until September 12 and no Arsenal response reported yet.
• Arsenal are expected to make an official approach in January for Palmeiras centre-back Luiz Benedetti after long-term scouting, with Barcelona also tracking the 19-year-old.
• Palmeiras are reluctant to sell and hold the player on a deal through 2029, with reports suggesting any transfer would be a multi‑million euro fee.
• Football Talk reports Arsenal previously tested the waters with an £8.5m proposal, while Palmeiras were said to value Benedetti closer to £13m.
• Earlier reports say Juventus rebuffed Arsenal and Chelsea enquiries for Kenan Yildiz and moved toward new-contract talks, underscoring Arsenal’s focus on young targets after a summer of eight signings and heavy spending.
