    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Bayern are in urgent need of wide reinforcements following the exits of Leroy Sane and Mathys Tel. While Diaz remains their top priority, Trossard’s experience and contract situation make him a more attainable option. Arsenal could be open to a deal to avoid losing him on a free next year. Additionally, the Belgium international recently changed agents, and his new representative, Dirk Hebel, has strong ties to German clubs, potentially easing a move to Bavaria.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Trossard scored ten goals and provided ten assists across 56 appearances last season, proving to be a valuable attacking option for Mikel Arteta. He also deputised effectively as a central striker during injuries to Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz.
