Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans wants to join Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal in the summer transfer window, according to 90min.
90min are reporting today that Tielemans is interesting in moving to Arsenal despite the Gunners not having Champions League football next season.
Arsenal are confident of getting a deal done for the £120,000 per week (SalarySport) midfielder, according to the report.
However, there is one ‘stumbling block’, according to 90min.
Arsenal are hoping to pay less than £25 million for Tielemans, while Leicester want close to £30 million.
Youri Tielemans rumour encouraging for Arsenal
In our view, Youri Tielemans reportedly willing to leave Leicester City for Arsenal is encouraging for the Emirates Stadium.
Now, Arsenal will play in the Europa League next season, but that is seemingly not affecting the 25-year-old’s desire.
Described as “an incredible talent” by former Tottenham Hotspur defender Michael Dawson on Sky Sports News (12:59pm, October 23, 2021), Tielemans would make Arsenal better in the middle of the park and wouldenhance the Gunners’ chances of finishing in the Premier League top four next season.
Tielemans has scored 18 goals in 120 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
We think that Tielemans would be a good signing for Arsenal, who should try to get a deal done before pre-season training starts.
