Brentford are reportedly willing to offer Trossard a three-year contract, which would give him long-term security at a stage of his career, ahead of turning 31 at the end of 2025.
His current Arsenal deal runs until 2027 but there are extension talks planned in North London.
Arsenal remain open to Trossard sale
According to reports, Arsenal have started early negotiations regarding a new contract for the Belgian star, but they are openminded over his next step.
Arsenal are open to letting him go if they receive an acceptable offer.
The above report claims Trossard has spoken to Arteta, to indicate he would consider leaving if an good offer came in, and Brentford’s proposal may fall into that category, especially as Arsenal are unlikely to match a three-year guarantee.
TeamTalk claim Arsenal have placed Trossard on a list of potential outgoings this summer as they look to recover from a big-spending few weeks at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners also maintain interest in Eberechi Eze, but they may be priced out of an offer, as Crystal Palace stand firm on their talisman.
Trossard is currently on preseason tour with Arsenal, but his future remains uncertain, and the next few weeks will be crucial as Brentford consider a formal bid.
