Arsenal target Youri Tielemans has set a brand new deadline for a transfer decision to be made over a potential move in January, according to reports. The Belgian midfielder was linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium in the summer, but a move never materialised.
It could be a decision that comes back to hurt Mikel Arteta, with former Tottenham player Jermaine Jenas claiming Thomas Partey can't be relied on due to his injury issues. The Spaniard did try to sign another option for the central ranks though, but missed out on deadline day.
"The club has done a phenomenal job and put everything on the table to try to bring the players and the profiles we wanted," the manager said after the transfer window closed. "We did business pretty early but unfortunately in the last 72 hours, Thomas [Partey] got injured in the same place he got injured last time and then Mo [Mohamed Elneny] has a long-term injury and we had to react in the market.
