Newcastle United are in talks to sign £27m title winner Leandro Trossard from Arsenal. The Belgian winger has been a key player for the Gunners, scoring 35 goals over the past three seasons. Trossard has been a dependable player for Mikel Arteta, and his contributions decreased as the campaign went on. Arsenal are believed to be open to selling Trossard as they plan to bring in a new left-winger amid interest in PSG's Bradley Barcola and AC Milan's Rafael Leao. Newcastle could sign a new winger to replace Anthony Gordon, who recently completed a £70m move to Barcelona. Speaking before Arsenal's Champions League final against PSG, Trossard insisted he could stay at the Emirates Stadium for one more season and see out his contract. 'At the moment, yes,' Trossard said when asked if he would remain at Arsenal beyond the World Cup. 'I still have one year on my contract, and hopefully, first we win the Champions League. Then I think next season can be another very nice season. 'Competition is always there, I am not afraid of that. They can bring in whoever they want. I know that I can hold my own.' Discussing last summer's transfer window and almost leaving Arsenal, Trossard added: 'It was more about appreciation towards me, and I did feel that. 'In the summer, I had a very good conversation with the coach. He also helped me in those negotiations and showed me that he really saw me as an important piece. 'I asked him honest questions and he was very honest in his answers to me. I am someone who, if you give me confidence, can give more. 'If you show me that I can be an important player for you, then I can give more. I feel that on the pitch.' While Trossard has suggested he could stay at Arsenal, a number of pundits have singled him out as a player Arteta should look to upgrade this summer. Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard, for example, told TNT Sports in March: 'I think Arsenal will potentially go for a player on the left. 'I don't think Gabriel Martinelli has been as good as he was previously maybe and Leandro Trossard is a good player but that is an area they might look at in terms of how to get the team and squad better.'
