ARSENAL AND YOURI TIELEMANS TRANSFER LINKS FULL STORY
According to reports, Arsenal will firm their interest in signing Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans. The report also claims that the Gunners were interested in a deal in the summer transfer window. However, the Foxes ended up resisting offers for the Belgian midfielder. They did it with the hope that he will sign a new contract with them.
However, Youri Tielemans has rejected all the approaches for a contract extension. Hence, the Foxes have made a decision to sell. The report also claims that Newcastle United will also try to convince the midfielder. Although, Arsenal have the advantage of European football this season. There are also rumors that Leicester City will accept offers in the region of 10-15 million in January to avoid losing him on a free transfer.
THE GUNNERS ARE DESPERATE TO SIGN A MIDFIELDER IN THE JANUARY TRANSFER WINDOW
According to reports, Youri Tielemans is not the only midfielder on the list. Arsenal are also keeping an eye on the situations of Jesper Lindstrom and Douglas Luiz. Hence, it looks like Edu and Mikel Arteta are keeping their options open in January. The Gunners also want to sign a right-winger in the January transfer window.
Hence, it is going to be a challenge to fit their budget to sign two players in January. They have already spent a huge amount of money on their summer transfer signings. Hence, Youri Tielemans is the most in-form undervalued midfielder available in January. However, Leicester City will hope that the Belgian has a brilliant World Cup in Qatar this year. This will help in increasing the transfer fee for the midfielder.
However, Arsenal will hope that Youri Tielemans tries to force his move to them. A number of reports also claim that he had agreed on personal terms with Gunners in the summer. Hence, this clearly indicates that the Gunners are leading the race for the Belgian’s signature.
