Leandro Trossard is already eying the future beyond his playing days at Arsenal.
The 29-year-old has been an important player for the Gunners since moving from Brighton & Hove Albion in January 2023. Earning himself the reputation of being a deadly finisher, the Belgian has scored some important goals for Mikel Arteta during his near two-year spell at the club.
While still giving his all on the pitch, Trossard has been laying the groundwork for a career after retirement. The former Gent star has already undertaken a coaching course and has earned his A-licence.
Trossard may not be set on coaching just yet but he credits Arteta and other managers he has worked with for influencing the style of football he would play if he was to go into management.
Trossard, who was linked with an exit to Saudi Arabia in the summer, may well have a decision to make over his future in the coming months as his Arsenal contract expires in the summer of 2026. Edu and Arteta will not want to lose a player of Trossard’s quality for nothing so the Belgian may need to decide whether he signs a new contract at Emirates Stadium or leaves permanently.
