Arsenal have been given a potential boost in their long-documented pursuit of Leicester City star Youri Tielemans.
The Gunners are known to be in the market for a new central midfielder, having been linked with the likes of Douglas Luiz, Fabian Ruiz and the Foxes' Belgian playmaker during past transfer windows. The recent performances shown by Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey will come as welcome news to Mikel Arteta but his side is still seemingly a little light in cover with a busy campaign still in its relative infancy.
European football and the upcoming World Cup may throw a potential spanner in the works, while a move for Luiz looks to be out of the question after the midfielder signed a new deal at Villa Park just days ago. Tielemans seems likely to run down his current deal at the King Power Stadium, with some pundits suggesting his head may have already been turned regarding life away from Leicestershire.
