- Trossard's transfer to Besiktas nearing completion for £15.5m.
Arsenal is nearing the completion of two crucial transfers that are set to significantly impact their squad ahead of the Premier League title defense. Piero Hincapie remains the club's only signing to date, but this is expected to change imminently.
Leandro Trossard's departure to Besiktas appears to be on the horizon, with reports suggesting an agreement has been reached for around £15.5 million. His representatives are expected in Istanbul for final discussions.
In terms of arrivals, French midfielder Manu Kone has reportedly agreed personal terms with Arsenal. The Gunners now need to finalize a transfer fee with his current club, Roma, for the midfielder who has impressed during the World Cup.
These potential incomings and outgoings signal Mikel Arteta's intent to strengthen the squad's midfield depth and generate funds, as the team prepares for pre-season training.
