Besiktas have launched a bid to sign Arsenal star Leandro Trossard with the Gunners indicating they are prepared to sell the winger.

The English transfer window slammed shut on Monday evening but clubs in the Turkish Super Lig are free to continue doing business until 12 September.

Trossard has been heavily linked with a move away from the Emirates this summer following major additions to Mikel Arteta’s attack.

He was thought to be in talks with Fenerbahce but talk of a move faded after agreed a new deal at the Emirates – one that secured him a pay rise but did not change the length of his existing deal.

Reports in Turkey now claim Besiktas are pushing hard to sign the Belgium international having made a €22million (£19m) offer.
