Arsenal have been handed a fresh stance on a transfer for Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans as the January window opens. The Gunners have long been linked with a switch for the Belgium international, with reports claiming personal terms were previously agreed, but a deal has never been made to the Foxes.
With just six-months remaining on his contract, Tielemans could be a bargain option in the winter market or a free transfer in the summer. Mikel Arteta missed out on landing a midfielder last time out amid an injury crisis, but could rectify that as he claims that they will be active in finding chances to sign players.
“We are going to be active," the Spaniard told reporters on potential incomings. "Active means we are always looking to strengthen the team."
