Youri Tielemans remains a target for Arsenal with Manchester United stepping up their interest in Leicester City midfielder
Arsenal have been busy during the ongoing transfer window, signing the likes of Marquinhos, Matt Turner, Fabio Vieira, Gabriel Jesus and most recently Oleksandr Zinchenko
Zinchenko’s signing has led to doubts about whether the Gunners will pursue Tielemans, but it now appears they could be playing the long game for the Foxes to lower the fee.
Youri Tielemans, a midfielder for Leicester City, is still a target for Arsenal this summer, per a report in The Telegraph.
The Gunners have been linked with the Belgian international since the start of the summer, but they have not yet made an official offer for his services.
Arsenal may find the £30 million price tag to be a roadblock, but they are willing to wait for the Foxes to decrease their transfer asking price.
The Telegraph claims that Mikel Arteta is the key impetus behind the pursuit of Tielemans.
However, talk of Manchester United’s growing interest will be a concern for Arsenal so they may want to act fast.
Arsenal are yet to make a real push for him, but they may be forced to step up their pursuit with Ben Jacobs claiming that Manchester United’s interest in Tielemans is growing.
Erik ten Hag desperately wants to sign Frenkie de Jong but a deal with Barcelona is proving difficult.
Jacobs says Man Utd could turn their attention to Tielemans as he’s a far cheaper and less complicated target.
Meanwhile, Tielemans has already agreed on personal terms with Arsenal through his representatives, so the Gunners remain in pole position.
