| Leandro Troard to Arsenal, a done deal |
Arsenal have reached an agreement with Brighton to sign striker Leandro Trossar.
The Belgian footballer told the Seagulls he wants to leave after parting ways with manager Roberto De Guerbi in January.
The 28-year-old has six months left on his contract with Brighton. The initial agreed fee is £20m, which could rise to £27m with add-ons. Trosar is expected to undergo a medical examination and sign an individual contract with the Premier League leaders.
If the Belgian player registers by Friday afternoon, he will be able to play the Gunners against Manchester United live on Sky Sports on Sunday. The Gunners are looking for a new striker and are missing Ukrainian striker Mykhailo Mudryk, who joined Chelsea for £85m.
Trossard enters the final six months of his contract with Brighton, but the Seagulls have the option to extend his current contract for another year. Tottenham have turned down offers for Trossard and are pushing instead.
He will be being new impact to the team., because he's a team player with the right attributes and physic the Arsenal team needs right now. Am very confident in him and the team are ready to play alongside him.
