Arsenal fans spot major transfer hint as team board train for Man Utd clash

Arsenal fans think that they may have figured out the club's transfer plans after spotting one player travelling for the clash with Manchester United.

On Sunday afternoon, Arsenal will face Manchester United at Old Trafford in what is undoubtedly the most anticipated match of the opening weekend of the 2025/26 Premier League season.

After both clubs enjoyed busy summers in the ongoing transfer window, several new signings are expected to feature in the match, including Viktor Gyokeres, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha.

With United and Arsenal both likely to remain active in the transfer window right up until it closes on September 1, Sunday's game may provide hints about their planned business.

And Arsenal fans are convinced that they might know more about their next move after spotting which players travelled for the clash with United.

With rumours suggesting that Arsenal could yet sign another attacking player, such as Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze, alongside Gyokeres, questions have been raised about several of the club's current forwards.

One of the players linked with a move away from the Emirates, is winger Leandro Trossard, who has failed to fully establish himself at the club after joining in a £27million deal from Brighton in 2023.

However, after Arsenal fans spotted that the 30-year-old was travelling with the rest of the Arsenal squad for Sunday's clash with United, they now think that he could be staying at the club this season.

Reacting to footage of Trossard boarding a train to Manchester with his teammates, one fan wrote on X: "Guess we're stuck with Trossard then."

And one joked: "They should make Zinchenko and Trossard take the Turkey train by accident."

While another disagreed, adding: "I don't get the Trossard hate, hje should be given a few minutes on the pitch tomorrow."

In recent weeks, the Belgian international has been linked with several clubs across Europe, including Turkish giants Galatasaray, who reportedly have placed him at the top of their transfer list.

However, it does not appear that Galatasaray, or any other club, have made any official offers as of yet, with transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claiming that any potential deal for Trossard is likely to come later in the window.

He said: “Nothing imminent yet, but one to watch in the final weeks as there’s movement.”
