Arsenal risk losing Leandro Trossard after transfer deadline as they receive shock offer from Saudi club
SAUDI PRO LEAGUE side Al Ittihad have submitted a shock bid to sign Arsenal winger Leandro Trossard.
Although the transfer deadline in England and Scotland has already passed, clubs from Saudi Arabia can still sign players.
Reports suggest the nation’s cutoff point is TONIGHT with a number of teams now scrambling to get deals across the line.
And Fabrizio Romano claims one of those deals is for Arsenal winger Trossard.
Al Ittihad have allegedly tabled a £29.5million offer for the Belgium international.
Arsenal will now have to decide whether or not to cash-in on him.
Should the Gunners decide to sell Trossard, they would be making a small profit.
The 29-year-old joined Arsenal from Brighton in a transfer worth £20m plus £7m in add-ons last January.
Mikel Arteta now considers him an important first team player.
Trossard has scored 19 goals and provided 12 assists in 71 appearances since moving to north London.

Given the Premier League transfer deadline passed last week, the Gunners will likely decide against sanctioning the sale.
Arsenal completed a last-minute loan deal for Raheem Sterling on Friday.
The England winger has joined on a season-long loan from Chelsea, with the Blues paying a large chunk of his salary.
