Arsenal sign Belgium winger Leandro Trossard from Brighton

Premier League leader Arsenal completed the signing of Brighton forward Leandro Trossard on Friday, one week after missing out on long-time transfer target Mykhailo Mudryk.

Arsenal said in a statement it signed the 28-year-old Belgium winger to a "long-term contract" without specifying how many years. The value of the deal was not disclosed.

Trossard adds to Arsenal's attacking option in the absence of Brazil forward Gabriel Jesus, who injured a knee at the World Cup, and joins after the Gunners were unable to lure the 22-year-old Mudryk. Shakhtar Donetsk instead accepted a 100-millioneuro ($108 million) offer from Chelsea.

Trossard also was at the World Cup and has made 24 appearances for Belgium.

Arsenal is five points clear of defending champion Manchester City, having played one game fewer, and chasing a first league title since 2004.

West Ham signs Danny Ings, Nottingham Forest gets Chris Wood

West Ham completed the signing of veteran striker Danny Ings from Aston Villa on Friday.

The 30-year-old Ings has joined the east London club for a reported fee of 12 million pounds ($14.8 million) and should be eligible to play Saturday when West Ham hosts fellow Premier League struggler Everton.

Ings was Villa's leading scorer this season with seven goals.

Villa this week reached an agreement to sign Colombia striker Jhon Durán from Major League Soccer team Chicago Fire for a reported $18 million.

New Zealand striker Chris Wood has joined Nottingham Forest on loan from Newcastle.

Forest announced Friday that the loan is for the remainder of the season with "a conditional obligation to become a permanent deal until the summer of 2024."

The 31-year-old Wood joined

Newcastle from Burnley for $34.5 million one year ago and helped the team avoid relegation. The Magpies are now fourth in the Premier League.

Wood could be available for Saturday's game against Bournemouth if Forest register him by midday Friday.

Guedes gone

Wolverhampton forward Goncalo Guedes has joined Benfica on loan for the rest of the season — just five months after signing with the Premier League club.

The 26-year-old Portugal international had moved to Molineux from Valencia for $33 million.

Guedes scored twice in 18 appearances for Wolverhampton and has now returned to Benfica, where he started his career.

He likely would have seen less playing time with Wolves after the arrival of Spain winger Pablo Sarabia from Paris Saint-Germain this week.

Financial terms of the loan weren't disclosed.

Barcelona agrees to sell striker Depay to Atletico

Netherlands striker Memphis Depay will join Atletico Madrid from Spanish league rival Barcelona after the Catalan club said Friday it had reached a deal to sell the player.

Depay had already trained with Atlético on Thursday with permission from Barcelona.

Barcelona said Atletico had agreed to pay 3 million euros ($3.25 million) with a possible 1 million euros ($1.08 million) more in add-ons. Depay agreed to a contract that will keep him in the capital for next two-and-a-half years, Atlético said.

As part of the deal, Barcelona also secured an option to buy Atlético winger Yannick Carrasco in the future.

Depay helped the Dutch national team reach the World Cup quarterfinals in December before losing to eventual champion Argentina.
