Arsenal have been handed a major boost in the race to sign Youri Tielemans this summer, with Leicester City set to undergo some changes. The 25-year-old has been heavily linked with an exit from the Foxes as he enters the final 12 months of a deal at the King Power Stadium.
football.london understand that the Gunners are interested in signing the Belgium international despite having already signed a midfielder this summer in the shape of Fabio Vieira. And, initially, it looked as if the former Porto star's move to the Emirates Stadium would deter Tielemans from penning a deal in north London.
But with Arsenal having held long interest in the Belgian and Leicester leaving the door open to exits, he could well be on the move in the coming weeks. The Foxes are the only club in the Premier League to have yet signed a new player this summer and Brendan Rodgers is under new measures which gift the Gunners an exciting opening.
