Leandro Trossard has made a significant change off the pitch that’s triggered speculation about his Arsenal future. The Belgium international recently ended his long-standing partnership with agent Josy Comhair and has now joined DH Sports and Entertainment Agency, a Germany-based firm. The timing of this development, alongside a stalled contract negotiation, has fans and pundits wondering if a move away from north London could be on the horizon.
Trossard, who has a contract at the Emirates running until the summer of 2026, is believed to be open to staying with the Gunners. However, talks over a new agreement have hit an impasse. Although Arsenal have the option to extend his deal by another year, discussions so far have primarily focused on a potential pay rise, without necessarily changing the duration of his existing contract. No agreement has been reached despite months of dialogue.
The departure from Comhair, who had been leading these talks, comes at a delicate time, especially as the agent is currently dealing with health-related challenges. Sources suggest that while Trossard has not formally asked to leave, Arsenal are now open to considering appropriate offers should they arrive during the summer window.
The decision to switch agents has caught the attention of Arsenal supporters, many of whom believe this could be a precursor to a transfer.
One of the fans, @leafricangooner, wrote: “Looks like he could be on the move this summer then if a reasonable offer comes in.”
While @nishfoshizzle said: “Don’t mind him leaving for a good price tbh.”
Whereas, @TheCarpetAFC speculated: “Speculative thoughts out loud: This may be a signal of a move. I feel like often when players get a change of representation and it’s announced online, specifically, said player usually ends up leaving. Of course, I’m aware this is not factual 😂 but it’s got me thinking..”

Selling a player like Trossard, who still commands considerable value in the market, could prove a practical way to raise funds without weakening the squad significantly. Arsenal are looking to bolster their attacking options this summer and are keeping a close eye on Real Madrid forward Rodrygo. The Brazilian, who has struggled to secure consistent playing time under Xabi Alonso, could be available if the Spanish giants decide to cash in. In addition to Rodrygo, Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze is also high on the Gunners’ radar.
Interest in Trossard remains strong both within and beyond Europe. Last summer, Al-Ittihad from the Saudi Pro League made a verbal offer for the winger, which Arsenal turned down. However, sources indicate that clubs in Saudi Arabia remain keen and could re-enter the picture this summer with a more substantial bid. Although no formal offers have been tabled yet, the window is still young, and the Belgian’s profile continues to attract suitors across the continent.
