Arsenal could face a potential blow in their January pursuit of Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans. The Gunners are pondering the possibility of bolstering Mikel Arteta's midfield next month ahead of the second half of the season.
Tielemans has continually been tipped to join the club over the past year after a string of impressive performances for Brendan Rodgers' side. His contract expires in June and has rejected numerous fresh terms over the past two years.
football.london revealed in the summer that Arsenal were prepared to wait in the hope that Tielemans runs down his deal with Leicester to enable them to acquire his services on a free transfer. It was reported that the Foxes were demanding a fee in the region of £32million in the summer but that figure will be drastically lower next month.
