Will Leandro Trossard go down as a cult hero?

•

After three and a half seasons of clutch moments and goggle celebrations, Leandro Trossard looks like he’s on his way out of Arsenal.


Ian Stone is joined by Art de Roche as the Gunners agree a £17.1m deal to sell the Belgian international to Besiktas.


We ask how he’ll be remembered after playing a huge part in helping the team secure their first league title in 22 years.


There’s bad news on the Jeremy Monga front, with Manchester City set to sign him from Leicester ahead of Arsenal.


But a big name IS through the door at the Women’s team. Lioness star Georgia Stanway has joined from Bayern Munich. The Athletic’s Charlotte Harpur tells us just what she could bring to Renee Slegers’ side next season.
