Leandro Trossard’s split from his agent Josy Comhair is not directly linked to his uncertain Arsenal future. The Belgian winger has now signed with German-based DH Sports and Entertainment Agency, sparking speculation he’s actively seeking a move away from the Emirates.
However, Mirror Football understands Trossard mutually agreed to part company with long-standing representative Comhair, who is battling health problems.
The separation was totally amicable even though Comhair had been leading negotiations with Arsenal over a potential contract extension.
Trossard’s current deal in north London runs until the summer of 2026 but it’s understood Arsenal hold a one-year extension option the club can formally trigger.

The 30-year-old wants to stay at Arsenal but so far, talks over fresh terms have stalled and failed to reach a positive conclusion to date.
Discussions have been centred around a pay-rise and were not certain to include an extension of the length of Trossard’s contract but no agreement has been reached thus far.
It’s understood suitable offers for Trossard may yet be considered this summer, should they land on the table because there has been no breakthrough between the parties.
Arsenal are firm admirers of Real Madrid’s Rodrygo and are aware the Brazilian could yet be available this summer for the right price as he has struggled for minutes at the Club World Cup under Xabi Alonso.
But in order to facilitate that deal – plus the potential capture of Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze and a top-class centre-forward – there might yet need to be a notable sale come the end of the window.

Financially, Arsenal remain in good stead and are not currently at risk of breaching PSR regulations but they will need to ratify some departures for the sake of their future financial records if they’re to continue spending notable cash.
Sources have indicated there is still active Saudi Pro League interest in Trossard, who was the subject of a rejected verbal offer from Al-Ittihad last summer, and there have also been tentative enquiries from Europe, namely Italy and Turkey, in recent weeks.
But at this stage, Arsenal are yet to receive any concrete proposals for the player and he still remains part of Mikel Arteta’s plans for the forthcoming campaign.
Trossard struck 10 goals and 10 assists in 56 appearances in all competitions last season and his availability and versatility is regarded as a huge asset at the Emirates.
Comhair had represented Trossard since he broke into the senior setup at Genk but relations between the pair remain full of respect, according to sources.
