Overview

• Aston Villa and Arsenal have held renewed internal talks over a summer transfer for the 30-year-old forward.
• Arsenal have valued Trossard at around £18m following significant summer additions to their attacking ranks.
• Reports say the final decision on any move will rest with Trossard, who is also weighing interest from Brentford.
• New signings such as Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyökeres have put pressure on Trossard’s opportunities for regular starts.
• A sale of Trossard would free up both roster space and funds for Arsenal to advance their pursuit of Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze.
