Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are growing in confidence over signing Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans in the summer transfer window, according to journalist Rudi Galetti on Twitter.
The journalist has reported this morning that Arsenal’s confidence of signing Tielemans on a free transfer at the end of the season is growing.
The £120,000-a-week (SalarySport) Belgium international midfielder is out of contract at former Premier League champions Leicester at the end of the season.
The 25-year-old will not sign a new deal with the Foxes, according to Galetti.

HITC Verdict: Exciting for the Gunners
In our view, that Arsenal are getting more and more confident over signing Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans in the summer transfer window is very encouraging for the Emirates Stadium faithful.
The midfielder is a very good player, and we believe that he would be a smart signing for Arsenal, especially on a free transfer.
Tielemans is only 25 now, which means that he has the potential to grow and develop even more.
And Arteta, we think that the Belgian star will get better.
Tielemans is one of the best midfielders in the Premier League, and signing him on a free transfer at the end of the season would be a coup for Arsenal.
