Arsenal fans fume ‘transfer window is officially closed’ as bit-part star is handed salary increase by Mikel Arteta

ARSENAL fans are furious after a shock transfer twist involving Leandro Trossard.

Trossard, 30, has been linked with a move away from the Emirates during the summer transfer window.

Brentford, Aston Villa and clubs overseas have expressed an interest in the winger.

But SunSport understands the Belgium international will sign a new deal with the Gunners.

Trossard will have an increased salary but his contract will still run until 2027.

That hasn’t sat well with a section of the North Londoners’ fanbase with the club needing to sell in order to add some more firepower in Mikel Arteta’s squad before transfer deadline day on September 1.

Arsenal have been wanting to add a winger – with Real Madrid star Rodrygo strongly linked – but first need to raise funds.

Should the likes of Fabio Vieira, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Trossard, Jakub Kiwior, Albert Sambi Lokonga and Reiss Nelson exit for their market value, it could take the club’s outgoings to well over £100million.

But a new deal for the Belgian could end the Premier League runners-up’s plans to sign a new left winger.

And that hasn’t sat well with Gooners, especially after Sunday’s hapless performance at Old Trafford despite beating Manchester United 1-0.

One fan tweeted: “Transfer window officially closed for the summer.”

Another commented: “I genuinely can’t see how this makes any sense if you are trying to sell the player.”

A third wrote: “This has to be a joke…”

This fan said: “They watched our pre-season and the ManU match and this [is] what they decided.”

And that one posted: “The last hope is [a] revival of Gabriel Jesus at left wing.”
