Trossard to Besiktas confirmed by Arsenal

Leandro Trossard is heading to Istanbul. Arsenal have confirmed a deal with Besiktas for the Belgian winger, the clubs announcing the agreement Tuesday afternoon (1). Trossard leaves after three and a half years in north London, where he made 121 appearances and scored 20 goals. He arrives with a clear sense of what he brings: "I'm composed in the box, so if I get chances, I can finish them off. I can hopefully help the team to win tough games, I'm great in tight spaces," Trossard said (1). Besiktas are getting a player who knows his own game inside out.
