Former Arsenal star, Paul Merson, has reacted to Arsenal’s decision to sell forward, Leandro Trossard to Besiktas this summer.
Arsenal recently sold Trossard to Besiktas, who play in the Turkish Super Lig.
Reacting, Merson believes the Belgian’s departure from Mikel Arteta’s side was not a good business, describing the 31-year-old as a brilliant footballer.
“For them to let Trossard go is not good business in my opinion – not for what you are selling,” Merson said in his Sky Sports column.
“He went for literally nothing. I can’t believe that half the Premier League were not after Trossard. He played in all the big games for Arsenal last season, and he is a brilliant footballer.
“There are a lot of good players, but not a lot of good footballers out there. He came under that second category.”
