Arsenal have £25m Danilo alternative as Edu 'explores' ambitious deadline day transfer

Arsenal's hopes of securing Youri Tielemans this summer have been given a slight boost after Leicester City reportedly lowered their asking price to around £25m ahead of deadline day.

Sky Sports News are claiming that Tielemans is available if that figure is met, with both Arsenal and Newcastle United retaining an interest in the midfielder. Leicester are said to have originally been demanding upwards of £30m for the Belgian, leaving the Gunners reluctant to pay such a fee for a player with less than a year remaining on his contract, football.london understands.

Following initial talks with his representatives, Edu has been in no rush to wrap up a deal for Tielemans so far and there have even been suggestions that Arsenal could wait until he becomes a free agent next year if new terms with the Foxes are not agreed upon.
