Brentford have made a bold move for Arsenal attacker Leandro Trossard, with the 30-year-old now a leading target to replace Yoane Wissa, Football Place understands.
The Gunners are open to offers for the Belgian this summer, as Brentford prepare for life after Wissa—who is pushing for a move to Champions League-bound Newcastle United.
Sources close to the situation confirm that Brentford have already made contact with Trossard’s representatives, offering a three-year contract. That length of deal could prove key in tempting the former Brighton man away from the Emirates, where his future role is becoming increasingly uncertain.
Why Brentford See Trossard as the Perfect Fit
Brentford’s new manager Keith Andrews is eager to add experience and ready-made Premier League quality to his squad. With Wissa likely to leave, the Bees see Trossard as a plug-and-play wide forward who can make an instant impact.
Trossard contributed 10 goals and 7 assists across all competitions last season, playing a key part in Arsenal’s strong league and Champions League campaigns.
“Trossard brings flair, flexibility and end product — he would instantly improve Brentford’s front three,” said a source close to the club. — Football Place
Arsenal Open to Sale – But It’s Up to the Player
Trossard still has a deal with Arsenal until 2026, with an option for another year, but talks over a renewal have stalled.
With Arsenal chasing fresh attacking talent such as Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze, Trossard’s minutes could be limited next season. Mikel Arteta rates him highly but won’t block an exit if the offer is right.
Arsenal are yet to receive a formal bid, but are aware of Brentford’s interest and will listen if Trossard signals a willingness to leave.

Analyst Verdict
Trossard remains one of the most underrated playmakers in the Premier League. He fits Brentford’s profile as a high-pressing, technically sound attacker, and his versatility across the front line would be invaluable.
However, his experience and leadership are also assets Arsenal won’t easily replace unless the bid makes strategic sense.
Key Takeaways
- Brentford offer Trossard a 3-year deal
- Arsenal open to selling for the right price
- Yoane Wissa expected to join Newcastle
- Trossard assessing long-term playing prospects
- Arsenal pushing for younger attacking options
What’s Next for Trossard and Brentford?
Brentford are now weighing up whether to submit an official bid for Leandro Trossard after positive talks with his representatives. The player is expected to remain in Arsenal training for now, but the coming days will be decisive. Should Yoane Wissa complete his move to Newcastle, the Bees are likely to accelerate their push for Trossard, offering him a long-term deal that could prove hard to turn down.
Aston Villa and a club in Saudi Arabia are also monitoring the situation. But for now, Brentford have moved first.
