Arsenal turn down Saudi approach for Trossard

Arsenal have turned down an approach from Saudi Pro League club Al Ittihad for Leandro Trossard.

The basis of the deal would have been a loan with an obligation to make the deal permanent.

One source, along with reports, say that the bid was €5m (£4.2m) up front with €25m (£21m) to make the deal permanent.

Arsenal say the forward is not for sale at any price.

The transfer deadline in Saudi Arabia close at 22:00 BST.

When Trossard joined the Gunners in 2023 he signed a four-and-a-half year contract with the option of a further year.

He scored the opening goal in the victory over Aston Villa in Arsenal's second game of the season and started the draw with Brighton on Saturday.
