Beşiktaş's Belgian winger Leandro Trossard stated in an interview which Arsenal players he would like to add to his team. Trossard noted that Arsenal's style of play has not changed and that they are still a good team, and said, "I would like Odegaard and Bukayo Saka at Beşiktaş."
Belgian winger Leandro Trossard, who wears the Beşiktaş jersey, gave exclusive statements to TRT Spor.
TRANSFER PROCESS
Speaking about the transfer process, Trossard said, 'I was at the World Cup during the transfer process. I learned of Beşiktaş's interest. The transfer process stretched over 6-8 weeks. There were talks throughout the World Cup. What convinced me to come was the club's desire. When I saw the club's passion for winning, I accepted. Everything started very well. We are doing very good things both in the league and in Europe. We have a longer way to go and a lot of work to do.'
'MY AGENT WAS ALWAYS IN CONTACT'
Continuing his remarks, the star player said, 'I did not have direct contact with the president, but my agent was always in contact. The president even hosted my agent at his home. The club offering a 3-year contract and the passion they showed to sign me excited me. The desire to come to a big team like Beşiktaş, the situation of coming to the biggest fan base excited me. There was a new coach, new players, a new project. This started very well. I am very excited right now. I am also excited about what this team will show on the pitch.'
'I WANT ODEGAARD AND SAKA'
Answering the question 'You watch Arsenal; which Beşiktaş footballer would you want to take to this Arsenal, which footballer from champion Arsenal would you take to Beşiktaş?' Leandro Trossard said, 'Arsenal are in a very good position again, not much different from last year. Their style of play and character have not changed. Despite players coming and going, they continue on their way in the same manner, they are at the top. I always support them. From here, I would take Orkun to Arsenal; there are many very good players at Arsenal, but I would want Odegaard or Bukayo Saka.'
