Benge has noted on Twitter what Arsenal fans were chanting when Tielemans was coming off, as you can see below.
90min reported last week that Arsenal want to sign the Belgium international midfielder and are hopeful of getting a deal done before the summer transfer window closes.
Journalist Dean Jones told GiveMeSport this week that Arsenal have “a genuine interest” in Tielemans, and that the 25-year-old himself is keen on a move to the Gunners.
Against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium this afternoon, Tielemans had a pass accuracy of 79.3%, took 36 touches, and put in one cross.
It will be interesting to see if Arsenal do sign the Belgian.
Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium clearly like him and want him in their team for this season and beyond.
