Youri Tielemans of Leicester City is allegedly in negotiations with Arsenal about a move to the Emirates.
Since his arrival from Monaco in 2019, the 24-year-old Belgian international has thrived for the Foxes.
With the victory in last season’s FA Cup Final against Chelsea, he etched his name in Leicester legend.
Now he’s on Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta’s radar as he attempts to reinforce his threadbare midfield.
Arsenal midfielder Arteta has revealed that he wants to sign a new midfielder this month.
Both Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny have left Arsenal for the African Cup of Nations, while Granit Xhaka just tested positive for Covid-19.
According to a source, Tielemans agents have already met with representatives from the North London club after being invited to London Colney to discuss a prospective transfer.
According to Goal, the player has been a long-term goal for Arsenal, who are currently putting arrangements in place to sign him.
Tielemans’ contract at the King Power Stadium is about to expire after 18 months.
Leicester are trying to persuade him to sign a new contract, but talks with the former Anderlecht and Monaco star have stalled.
Tielemans wants to play Champions League football, which Arsenal hopes to be able to provide him with next season.
