Arsenal given Youri Tielemans transfer boost as Brendan Rodgers makes Leicester admission

Brendan Rodgers has revealed what the action will be from Leicester in the January transfer window regarding out of contract players. The Foxes have seven players with expiring deals in June 2023 and one of them is of extreme interest to Arsenal.

Youri Tielemans was one of the Gunners' biggest summer targets and had speculation surrounding him after being dropped from the side at the start of the season. Edu was always keen to bring in a new midfielder to offer support to Thomas Partey in the centre of the park but nothing was sorted.

That only played into Arsenal's hands for the future, though, with Tielemans' value depreciating the closer he gets to his contract expiring. Tielemans himself is helped by this, but Rodgers was bullish when asked if he had rejected a new deal last summer.
