Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are growing very confident of signing Youri Tielemans from Premier League rivals Leicester City in the summer transfer window, according to The Sun.
The report in the British tabloid has claimed that Arsenal are closing in on a £40 million for the Belgium international midfielder, who earns £120,000 per week (SalarySport).
There is ‘growing confidence’ from Tielemans’s camp and Arsenal that the midfielder will be at the Emirates Stadium next season, according to the report.
However, Champions League football is a must, and Real Madrid are reportedly ready to swoop in.
Youri Tielemans would make Arsenal better
In our opinion, Tielemans would be a good signing for Arsenal and would make the Gunners better.
Yes, Arsenal are doing well at the moment, but the Gunners will need reinforcement in midfield, especially if they finish in the Champions League places.
Mohamed Elneny is out of contract at Arsenal at the end of the season, Thomas Partey has had injury problems, and Granit Xhaka can get sent off on occasions.
Described as “an incredible talent” by former Tottenham Hotspur defender Michael Dawson on Sky Sports News (12:59pm, October 23, 2021), Tielemans, 24, is at the right age to take the next step in his career and move to a massive club such as Arsenal.
