Arsenal are prepared to wait until Youri Tielemans’ current contract expires to secure the Belgian on a free transfer football.london understands. The Gunners have had an agreement with the player in place for some time and are confident of getting him for less than Leicester’s current asking price.
Arsenal feel as though the Foxes’ demands, which are in the region of £32million, are too high for a player with just one year remaining on his deal. Edu is in no rush to sign the player although external factors could change the situation rapidly.
Should other clubs suddenly firm up interest in Tielemans, Arsenal could accelerate plans to sign the Belgian international football.london understands. CBS Sports’ Ben Jacobs previously reported interest from Manchester United although their move for Adrien Rabiot, as reported by The Athletic, potentially rules them out of the race.
