Arsenal may finally be prepared to act on their interest in Leicester City star Youri Tielemans. The Gunners are looking to add reinforcements to Mikel Arteta's squad in January as they prepare to continue their Premier League title fight with reigning champions Manchester City.
The Spaniard is said to want a new attacker and midfielder to strengthen his options ahead of an important second half of the season. Arsenal hold a long-term interest in Tielemans and have already agreed personal terms with the 25-year-old, but are yet to finalise a deal with the Foxes, football.london understands.
Recent reports suggested that London rivals Chelsea were looking to hijack a move for Tielemans which may have seen the Gunners accelerate plans to sign the Belgium international. Tielemans' contract is set to expire at the end of the season with foreign clubs able to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with the Belgian star from January.
