Arsenal Face Defining Attacking Decision
Arsenal’s summer is beginning to take shape around one obvious theme, the attack needs refinement, refreshment and perhaps a little ruthlessness. According to Caught Offside, Leandro Trossard is attracting interest from several European clubs, with Arsenal aware that this may be the moment to make a difficult but sensible decision.
Trossard has been one of those players supporters grow attached to because he arrived without excess noise and delivered without fuss.

Intelligent, technically clean and capable of decisive moments, he gave Mikel Arteta something Arsenal had badly needed, composure in the final third.
His winning goal against West Ham during this season’s title race will live fondly in the memory. That is the kind of moment that turns a squad player into something closer to a cult figure.

Caught Offside report that Arsenal are now open to offers, with the player entering the final year of his contract. That changes the conversation. Sentiment has its place, but so does timing.
“Arsenal are open to offers for Trossard,” one source with close ties to the agents industry told me. “His contract expires next summer, so now is the last chance to sell, and they know they’ll have clubs knocking on their door.
“The strongest interest at the moment is coming from Besiktas, who could open talks over a deal soon, but look out as well for Atletico Madrid, Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Inter Milan, and Juventus.”

Left Wing Upgrade Becomes Priority
The harder question for Arsenal is whether keeping Trossard…
