His current contract at the Emirates runs until the summer of 2027.

What happens next?

Arsenal are set to step up their plans as the summer transfer window approaches, with the club continuing to hold internal discussions over potential targets. Mikel Arteta and Andrea Berta are both believed to be actively assessing several options as preparations for next season continue behind the scenes.

The Gunners are expected to be among the busiest Premier League clubs this summer, with several positions under review. Any move will ultimately depend on availability, financial conditions and how Arsenal prioritise their targets during the transfer window.

The bigger picture

Arsenal’s recruitment team continues to focus on players who fit the club’s long-term strategy under Mikel Arteta. Technical quality, tactical intelligence and versatility remain key attributes as the club assesses potential additions ahead of the new campaign.

The club has consistently looked to add players capable of improving both the starting XI and overall squad depth, particularly with the demands of competing in the Premier League and Champions League. Arsenal are expected to strengthen multiple areas of the squad this summer and continue to monitor opportunities across Europe and South America.

Arsenal are expected to make several important decisions regarding the composition of the squad this summer. While strengthening key areas remains a priority, the club could also consider offers for certain players if it helps fund new arrivals and maintain financial flexibility.

Securing the futures of key players remains just as important as making new signings. Arsenal have worked hard to build one of the strongest squads in Europe, and maintaining stability within the group will be crucial as the club looks to continue competing for major honours.

Our View

Trossard’s situation is one worth monitoring closely this summer While the Belgian winger remains an important player for Arsenal and Mikel Arteta’s project, it feels like this summer is the perfect chance to receive some money for the 31-year-old. His current contract runs out next summer, so this could be Arsenal’s last chance to cash in.

Should a significant offer arrive, Arsenal are expected to at least consider it, especially if it could help fund reinforcements elsewhere in the squad. The Gunners are actively looking at options to bring in a new left winger ahead of next season. Bradley Barcola, Rafael Leao and William Gomes are among the names being linked with a summer move to the Emirates.

Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli could also depart this summer, with recent reports suggesting that the club have made a final decision on his future in north London.
