Arsenal attacker Leandro Trossard is open to joining fellow Premier League club Aston Villa in the summer transfer window.

According to a report by Pete O’Rourke Football Insider, Leandro Trossard is the subject of interest from Aston Villa. The Villans are keen on bolstering their offensive unit by signing a versatile wide attacker ahead of the 2026/27 season, and they have set their sights on the 31-year-old Arsenal utility man.

Per Football Insider, the Waterschei native “would welcome the chance to move to Aston Villa” in the ongoing transfer window. Meanwhile, the report has also revealed that Arsenal will not stand in Trossard’s way if he pushes to depart from the Emirates in the coming weeks.

Leandro Trossard and his growth at Arsenal

Leandro Trossard has made considerable progress since joining Arsenal from Brighton & Hove Albion in a deal worth £21 million in January 2023. While the 31-year-old has not been an undisputed first-choice starter for the North London club, he has been a reliable performer for Mikel Arteta in the last three and a half years. Additionally, the player’s ability to reprise multiple offensive roles has made him a utility man.

Trossard was impressive in the 2025/26 season, scoring eight goals and providing 11 assists in 50 outings across all competitions. The Belgian winger’s progress has piqued the attention of several well-known clubs, with Aston Villa among the prospective suitors vying for his signature this year.

Move across the Premier League on the cards?

Leandro Trossard has been on Aston Villa’s wishlist for several weeks. The continued interest is understandable, as the Villans need a wide attacker who can take some of the productivity burden off Morgan Rogers and Ollie Watkins, with the team being over-dependent on the English duo in the final third.

Additionally, Unai Emery also has a personnel issue, as Jadon Sancho’s loan spell has ended, while Leon Bailey reportedly faces an uncertain future at Villa Park. Several candidates, including Marcus Rashford, have thus emerged on Aston Villa’s wishlist, with Trossard also a viable target due to his extensive Premier League experience. So, the 31-year-old should hit the ground running if he moves to Villa Park.

With Arsenal open to sanctioning Trossard’s sale, a summer departure is on the cards. The Belgian international will enter the final 12 months of his contract in two weeks, and the summer is the North London club’s final chance to recoup a reasonable fee from his departure. However, it is unclear how much Arsenal will demand to sell him.
