Arsenal could face a battle from rivals Manchester United if they decide to revive their interest in Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans this summer. The Belgian is set to become a free agent in the summer, with his contract expiring at the end of the current season.
football.london understands that interest from Arsenal in Tielemans has cooled, but it remains to be seen whether that could reignite this summer when he becomes available on a free transfer. The addition of the midfield would give the side more options on the left, having struggled for depth beyond Granit Xhaka in that area.
Tielemans has already hinted at what would win him over in a potential battle between two clubs, saying back in June to RTBF: "When you change clubs, you don’t change just to change. You change because there is a great project on the table. For a player, the most important thing is to play. It’ll be up to me to make the right decision regarding my future this summer, but now, I’m relaxed and focusing on the Red Devils [Belgian national team]."
