Reports this week suggest that Arsenal have cooled their interest in key Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans.
The Belgian has just one year left to run on his current deal at the King Power and Arsenal were tipped as one of many clubs who could make a move for him this summer. However, it seems Mikel Arteta might be keen to spend funds on other areas and look to instead hand greater responsibility to midfielders already at the club.
One of those expected to play a more significant role next season is Albert Sambi Lokonga who joined the club last season from Anderlecht. The 22-year-old arrived in North London with a big reputation, and he was even labelled as the “the new Yaya Toure” by ex-manager Vincent Kompany.
