Arsenal will soon discover if their risky transfer strategy with regard to Youri Tielemans will pay off.
Despite being tipped to sign the midfielder in the summer, football.london revealed that the north London outfit were prepared to wait in the hope that the Belgium international runs down the final year of his contract with Leicester City thus enabling them to sign him on a free transfer.
The reason for this stance was because, at the time, the Gunners felt as though the Foxes' demands - which were in the region of £32million - were too high for a player with less than 12 months remaining on his deal and therefore sporting director Edu was in no rush to pursue a deal for the 25-year-old.
