Arsenal have potentially been handed considerable encouragement over a deal for Youri Tielemans with Leicester City having apparently opened contract talks with his successor. The Belgian midfielder has long been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium, with uncertainty over his Foxes’ future continuing to grow.
The former Monaco and Anderlecht prospect is out of contract in 2023 and as of yet no agreement on an extended stay in the east Midlands has been forthcoming. The uncertainty could potentially see Leicester cash-in on the mercurial playmaker this summer or risk losing him for nothing in a year’s time.
Should Leicester elect to sell, then Arsenal as well as Manchester United have been noted as significant admirers and could make a move. Should that occur though, Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers appears to have already found his replacement.
