Arsenal are reportedly leading the race for signing Youri Tielemans. Leicester City have offered him a contract extension.

However, he has rejected all the extension approaches. Hence, they are now open to selling him in January to avoid losing him on a free transfer.

ARSENAL AND YOURI TIELEMANS TRANSFER LINKS FULL STORY

According to reports, Arsenal are ahead in the race to sign midfielder Youri Tielemans. The report also claims that Barcelona wants to sign him on a free transfer in the next summer transfer window. However, the report also confirms that the midfielder wants to join the Gunners. Therefore, there is a chance that the Gunners will pay a small transfer fee to Leicester City to seal a transfer in the January transfer window.

However, the report also confirms that nothing is advanced between Tielemans and Arsenal. Although, another report confirms that the midfielder has agreed on personal terms with the Gunners over a possible move. Mikel Arteta also likes the Belgian midfielder. Hence, Youri Tielemans with his brilliant ability and low transfer fee would be a match made in heaven for the Gunners.

THE GUNNERS ALSO HAVE OTHER MULTIPLE OPTIONS ON THE LIST

The report mentions that Xavi will try till the last minute to convince Tielemans to join them. Hence, there is also a chance that Barca will offer him more wages and a signing bonus for joining them on a free transfer. There is also a chance that Leicester City will break their wage budget and offer him good terms. Therefore, Arsenal and Mikel Arteta will keep their other midfield options open.

Hence, the Gunners are also tracking the situation of Jesper Lindstrom and Douglas Luiz. Mikel Arteta knows that the January transfer window is a short window. Hence, the deals of incomings and outgoings have to be done fast in the window. However, at the moment, Youri Tielemans looks like their first preferred option in terms of budget and his ability.

Arsenal are currently alive in all the competitions. They are expected to go deep in all the competitions including the Europa League. Hence, they will hope that a potential signing like Youri Tielemans will improve their squad depth this season.
