If he’s not good enough to start regularly under Mikel Arteta, perhaps he’ll be good to someone else – particularly Al-Ittihad manager Laurent Blanc. Namely, the Saudis sent a bid earlier today to Arsenal, offering 35 million euros for Leandro Trossard!Saudi club Al Ittihad have submitted a €35m bid for Leandro Trossard. Per @FabrizioRomano 👀 pic.twitter.com/65Y0yNAyHf— Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) September 2, 2024 The Belgian joined the Gunners in January 2023 but hasn’t convinced Arteta that he deserved more playing time, especially in the starting lineup, although he was the team’s third-leading scorer last season behind Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz, who started regularly, while the 29-year-old forward usually came in from the bench.His excellent scoring form continued in the new season as well, and his deadlock-breaker against Aston Villa was the ultimate recommendation to the Saudi side. After two starts from the bench, Trossard was included in the XI two days ago in Arsenal’s draw against his former team, Brighton. That could represent a sign of “reconciliation” between Trossard and Arteta, but still, the list of players who couldn’t resist the “wink” from the Middle East is long.Troubles in Arteta’s paradise?Some of the names on it are the Belgian’s possible future teammates, N’Golo Kante, Fabinho, Karim Benzema, and Moussa Diaby, who recently joined the Saudi side from Aston Villa. After Ivan Toney signed with Al-Ahli a few days ago, perhaps we’d get another forward who would replace the English Premier League with the Saudi Pro League.##NAJAVA_MECA_8310717##
