July 15 : Belgium forward Leandro Trossard has joined Turkish Super Lig side Besiktas on a three-year contract from Arsenal with an option for a further year, both clubs confirmed on Wednesday.

The 31-year-old, whose Arsenal contract was due to run until 2027, moves in a deal reported by Besiktas to be worth 18 million euros ($21 million), payable in six equal instalments over three years.

“Besiktas Futbol Yatirimlari Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. has informed the Public Disclosure Platform (KAP) that an agreement has been reached with professional football player Leandro Trossard and his club regarding his permanent transfer,” the club said in a statement.

Arsenal confirmed on Tuesday that Trossard had been given permission to travel to Istanbul to undergo a medical ahead of the move.
