Arsenal are back in for Youri Tielemans and now hope to pull off a £30million deal for the Leicester City midfielder.
The Gunners have already signed one midfielder this summer with Fabio Vieira arriving from Porto.
Yet Arsenal could now be back in for another midfield addition this summer with one name continuing to pop up.
Leicester ace Tielemans was heavily linked before the signing of Vieira and it now looks like Arsenal are interested once again.
Arsenal are back in for Youri Tielemans
Arsenal appear to be changing their plans in midfield as they now plot another signing with Tielemans back on the radar.
The Sun claim that Arsenal have now stepped up their interest in signing Tielemans having seemingly backed away earlier this summer.
It’s claimed that a firm offer of £30million is now imminent and Arsenal are confident of bringing the Belgian to the Emirates Stadium.
Tielemans is out of contract net summer and Leicester may be tempted to sell now rather than lose him for nothing in 2023.
That certainly plays into Arsenal’s hands as they look to land Tielemans for a reasonable fee.
The 25-year-old has so far held off signing a new deal at Leicester and many have expected him to move on this summer.
Hailed as a ‘special player’ by former Leicester teammate Wes Morgan, Tielemans has proven himself as a quality Premier League midfielder over the years.
Arsenal have had Tielemans on their list for months and now seem ready to strike with a deal.
That would be a blow to West Ham United, who were allegedly looking to swoop in with an offer of their own after hearing Arsenal were backing away.
Tielemans would likely rather join Arsenal given their push for the top four and we could see some real movement on this deal in the coming days.
