Youri Tielemans to Arsenal has been the midfield saga of the club’s summer so far. Despite consistent reports linking the Belgian to the club, no official offer has yet been made.
Arsenal have already spent more than £80 million on Gabriel Jesus, Fabio Vieira, Marquinhos and Matt Turner. However, it is widely recognised that plenty more is needed to prepare the squad for the new season.
The delay in the move for Tielemans was hinted to be due to a mystery midfield preference above the Leicester City player. Belgian football journalist Sacha Tavolieri told The Gooner Talk that Arsenal have a higher priority central midfield target that has so far remained out of the public eye.
