Two leading Premier League teams have presented solid transfer proposals for Arsenal's top player, as per a recent report.
In the ongoing transfer saga, Arsenal is reportedly looking to offload Leandro Trossard to Borussia Dortmund this summer. The Gunners see Trossard's sale as a priority this transfer window, with a deal worth around €15 million (£13 million) on the table [1][2][4].
Trossard, who is under contract at Arsenal until 2027, has been attracting interest from various clubs. Alongside Dortmund, two unnamed Premier League clubs have reportedly made concrete offers for the Belgian international [3].
The potential sale could create room for Eberechi Eze, a talented player capable of being relied upon by a top team, who has a £60m release clause [5]. Arsenal retains an interest in Eze, who can play centrally or on the left, similar to Trossard [6].
If Trossard remains at Arsenal and Eze is signed, Trossard could find himself spending more time on the bench. With stars like Bukayo Saka, Viktor Gyokeres, and potential arrival Declan Rice, Trossard may not be the main man at the club [7].
It's worth noting that Trossard has not signed an agreement for an improved salary and extension with Arsenal [8]. This, coupled with the interest from other clubs, suggests that a move for Trossard in this transfer window is possible.
Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta has been active in the transfer market, signing Gyokeres, Zubimendi, and Madueke [9]. However, so far this transfer window, only Nuno Tavares and Marquinhos have been sold from Arsenal.
While Bayern Munich has shown interest in Trossard as a fallback option if their pursuit of Liverpool’s Luis Díaz fails, and Trossard has also been linked with moves to Fenerbahce and clubs in Saudi Arabia, the current strongest interest for a straightforward transfer seems to come from Dortmund and the two Premier League clubs [3].

- The Belgian international Leandro Trossard, currently with Arsenal, has been targeted by both Borussia Dortmund from the German Bundesliga and two unnamed clubs from the English Premier League, creating a transatlantic battle for his services.
- The potential sale of Leandro Trossard to Borussia Dortmund or one of the unnamed Premier League clubs could potentially pave the way for Eberechi Eze, a £60m-valued player, to join Arsenal, given Trossard's similar role on the team.
