Arsenal fans have a lot to say after watching Leandro Trossard's debut at Besiktas
Arsenal sold Leandro Trossard to Besiktas earlier this summer.
The Belgian played a crucial role in helping the Gunners win the Premier League title last season, but everyone expected him to leave.
Arsenal managed to sell Trossard for £17 million, which is a great fee for a 31-year-old who had entered the final year of his contract.
However, it looks like Gooners are missing him now and are wondering whether the club made the right decision in letting him go.
Arsenal fans react to Leandro Trossard’s Besiktas debut
Leandro Trossard made his debut for Besiktas in their Europa League playoff against Hradec Kralove on Thursday night.
The former Gunner came on as a substitute on the right wing, and he made the game look so easy with his dribbling ability and passing.
Arsenal fans had a look at Trossard’s display, and it’s safe to say that many feel he shouldn’t have been sold.
One tweeted: “Look who we sold instead of who. It should have been Gabriel Martinelli.”
Another wrote: “I still don’t understand why Arsenal decided to sell Trossard.”
“Arsenal really let a guy who actually shows up for big games walk for pocket change. Trossard in that Besiktas kit already looks like he belongs on a pitch that matters,” said another.
Another Arsenal fan reacted by saying: “Still don’t understand how we sold Trossard and kept Martinelli.”
“He would still comfortably be our second-best winger after Bukayo Saka,” said another.

Christos Tzolis is Arsenal’s new Leandro Trossard
Arsenal only sold Trossard after they secured the signing of Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge.
The Greek international has had a fantastic pre-season and has looked really sharp on the left flank in every game.
Arteta has already compared Tzolis to Trossard, and we can clearly see the similarities.
It’s still too early to say anything about the winger, but early signs really do suggest that he is Arsenal’s new Trossard.
That has got us really excited.
