Arsenal have confirmed Leandro Trossard is moving to Besiktas.
The Belgium winger has been granted permission to travel to Istanbul to undergo a medical.
Besiktas, meanwhile, have announced the Trossard is arriving at Ataturk Airport at 7.30pm local time (5.30pm UK time) to complete his move.
Trossard departs the Premier League champions in a deal worth £17m, broken up into an initial £15.3m plus £1.7m in add-ons.
Trossard became a crucial player in Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal – playing 174 times in three and a half years, scoring 36 goals.
During Arsenal’s title-winning campaign last term, Trossard scored eight goals and registered 11 assists in 50 matches in all competitions, as the Gunners also finished as Champions League runners-up.
