Arsenal rejected a late market bid from Al Ittihad for Leandro Trossard.
The Athletic says Al Ittihad tabled a cash offer for the Belgium international, with the Saudi transfer window to shut later today.
But the Gunners held firm, insisting Trossard is not for sale.
David Ornstein is reporting: “Arsenal turned down Al Ittihad verbal offer for Leandro Trossard yesterday: loan (€5m), buy obligation (€20-25m).
“Informal bid + #AFC made clear not for sale. Long-term deal, key part of squad & no chance to replace.”
