Arsenal could still change their long-term plans regarding Leicester City star Youri Tielemans by signing the Belgian midfielder in January. The 25-year-olds Leicester contract expires in the summer with football.london revealing that the Gunners were prepared to wait until the summer to sign him on a free transfer.
The Tielemans transfer saga will reach its conclusion in 2023 but it remains to be seen whether it will arrive in January or June. The latter had been the expected outcome for several months, but The Mirror reported earlier this month that Arsenal are now ‘ready to test Leicester’s resolve' in January.
The report also added that City are ‘braced’ for an offer and that a bid of around £20million would be enough for the club to consider selling.
