According to an update by Football Transfers, Leandro Trossard and Oleksandr Zinchenko are not going anywhere in the summer transfer window.

Leandro Trossard and Oleksandr Zinchenko: Two versatile assets for Arsenal

Leandro Trossard has made considerable progress since joining Arsenal from Brighton & Hove Albion in January 2023. While the 30-year-old has not been a regular starter for the North London club, he has been a handy contributor in the final third in the last two and a half years.

The Belgian international has turned out 124 times thus far for Arsenal while chipping in with 28 goals and 23 assists. However, widespread reports have suggested that a summer move away from the North London club may be on the cards for the experienced attacker. Meanwhile, Oleksandr Zinchenko has been with Arsenal since July 2022, arriving from Manchester City.

The 28-year-old Ukrainian international enjoyed an excellent debut season, becoming a mainstay at the back for Arsenal. However, his stock has fallen in the last two campaigns, and he has become a peripheral figure for the North London club. Zinchenko has turned out nearly 100 times thus far for Arsenal while chipping in with three goals and five assists.

What next?

Widespread reports have linked Leandro Trossard and Oleksandr Zinchenko with moves away from Arsenal this summer. The latter has been a target for high-profile European clubs and mid-table Premier League outfits. In addition, his representatives have reportedly worked on an AC Milan switch.

As for Trossard, recent reports have linked him with Bayern Munich. Clubs in Turkiye and Serie A have also shown interest in the 30-year-old Belgian international, and recent reports claimed that he wanted to depart from the Emirates in the summer transfer window. However, the versatile duo will remain with Arsenal for another season.

Mikel Arteta recently held crunch talks with Trossard and Zinchenko, with the discussions proving positive. So, the versatile duo will remain with Arsenal beyond the summer transfer window, and they will hope for regular starts to secure their spots in their national sides going into the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
