Youri Tielemans may not be the only free agent Arsenal sign in the 2023 summer transfer window with a number of their other transfer targets out of contract at the end of the season. Marcus Thuram, Evan Ndicka and Marco Asensio will all see their deals expire at their current clubs with the potential for a pre-contract being agreed in January.
Despite the possibility of signing Tielemans in January to boost the Gunners' title chances, Arsenal are still prepared to wait until Tielemans’ current contract expires to secure the Belgian on a free transfer, as football.london reported in the summer.
Thuram, Asensio and Ndicka have all been linked with moves to north London with the latter said to have 'reached an agreement' for a transfer to Arsenal in the summer. Asensio and Thuram however, could be overlooked with Arsenal looking to add an attacking option to their squad in January, where a pre-contract agreement would see either Thuram or Asensio arrive ahead of the 2023/24 season.
