🚨 Leandro Trossard Out, Arsenal’s Hunt for New Forward ON!

14 July 2026, 17:07
📝 THE FULL PICTURE: Arsenal are fast-tracking their search for a new attacker after Leandro Trossard’s departure - but here’s the twist: they’re not rushing to replace him directly. Instead, they’re zeroing in on Club Brugge’s Christos Tzolis, with Sporting Director Andrea Berta leading the charge. Assistant Maurizio Micheli even caught Tzolis in action for Greece vs. Sweden, and sources say the Greek international could be had for around £30m. Meanwhile, Julian Alvarez remains Arsenal’s long-term priority, though Barcelona and Real Madrid are blocking the path. For now, Morgan Rogers is the preferred short-term target - but Villa’s £130m asking price is a serious hurdle. Barcola’s the backup plan, and Micheli’s also scouted Georgia’s teenage prospect Andria Bartishvili recently. So yeah - Trossard’s gone, but the plan’s still unfolding. 💭 MY TAKE: This feels like a team trying to juggle three different transfer strategies at once - short-term fix, long-term dream, and wildcard wildcard. Tzolis for £30m? That’s a solid value play if he’s ready. But if Arsenal’s really serious about competing at the very top, they’ll need more than just “versatile” - they need explosive. Rogers at £130m? Wild. Barcola? Sure. But if they’re not serious about Alvarez, they’re just spinning wheels. Trossard’s gone - now they better mean it.
