EXCLUSIVE: Leandro Trossard is into the final 18 months of his Arsenal contract.
Leandro Trossard is set for Arsenal contract talks after the January transfer window
Arsenal are set to open contract talks with Leandro Trossard after the January transfer window.
The Belgian's current deal runs until the summer of 2026, but Gunners chiefs are keen to reward his consistency with an extension. And a meeting has been scheduled to discuss the terms of a new agreement once the dust has settled on what could turn out to be a busy winter market.
Clubs in the Saudi Pro League have expressed an interest in Trossard, and further enquiries have been made since the start of the month. However, Express Sport understands that Trossard is eager to prolong his stay at the Emirates Stadium.
The departure of sporting director Edu in early November has complicated the process of Arsenal getting their contract affairs in order. Jorginho and Thomas Partey will both be free agents at the end of the season as things stand.
And Trossard is in the group of players, alongside Takehiro Tomiyasu and Oleksandr Zinchenko, who would have just 12 months left by the summer, putting Arsenal at risk of losing them on the cheap.
The 30-year-old has appeared in every single one of Arsenal's Premier League games this season, starting 12 of them and contributing to five goals.
Arsenal signed Trossard from Brighton for £27million two years ago, and he has since netted 22 times in 96 appearances. His versatility has been a godsend for manager Mikel Arteta, who can deploy him anywhere in the front-three or in attacking midfield.
The Gunners boss sang Trossard's praises last week, saying: "Leo has had a lot more consistency over the last 12 months. He has deserved that. He has had a lot of competition in his position and that's it.
"If he plays at that level he will play, like anybody else. He has the capacity to do special things. He is a player that I value a lot because he is very versatile and very competitive. He is always a massive goal threat for the team so we're really happy with him.
"Leo naturally is a little bit of a moaner, but I like that. He wants to win, and that's what I love. That's why he comes on the pitch and makes that impact."
