How has Leandro Trossard got on since leaving Arsenal?

Leandro Trossard has quickly become part of the first-team at Besiktas following his summer exit from Arsenal but he has yet to hit top form.

Leandro Trossard has become a regular in Besiktas’s league side since leaving Arsenal in the summer, although his early numbers in Turkey have been relatively modest.

Besiktas sit second in the Süper Lig after seven matches, winning five and losing two to collect 15 points, one fewer than Galatasaray.

Their most recent league result was a 2-1 victory over Kocaelispor.

During that time, Trossard has made six Süper Lig appearances, scoring once and providing one assist.

He also has two Europa League qualifying appearances totalling 96 minutes without a goal or assist.

Dusan Vlahovic leads the club’s league scoring with six goals from five appearances, while Orkun Kokcu and Vaclav Cerny have scored twice each.

The former Arsenal forward joined Besiktas in July on a three-year contract containing an option for a further season.

BBC Sport reported the transfer fee as €18 million, approximately £15.3 million, payable in six instalments across three years.

He left Arsenal after 174 appearances, having scored 36 goals and supplied 34 assists.

His final campaign also ended with a Premier League winners’ medal, while he also started the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain.

Trossard has also had some fitness problems, including a heel injury, and has missed three games for his club and two for Belgium.
