Arsenal 'ready' bid for key midfield target as Edu's selected transfer alternatives revealed

Arsenal are ready to bid for Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans if recent reports are to be believed.

The Gunners have signed five first-team players during the summer transfer window, bringing in Fabio Vieira, Gabriel Jesus, Matt Turner, Marquinhos and Oleksandr Zinchenko for over £110 million combined. Still, technical director Edu remains active in the market, with the Brazilian keen to offload a number of fringe players within Mikel Arteta's squad.

And one player who continues to be linked with a move to north London is Leicester's Tielemans, with transfer guru Sacha Tavolieri now claiming that the next week could see a bid come in for the Belgian international. Writing on Twitter, Tavolieri said: "Youri #Tielemans stay in #Arsenal’s target lists, ready to make a second bid next week for #LCFC midfielder.

"As announced yesterday, #Arteta valid the profile & next week will be decisive. More options for #AFC board: Sandro #Tonali, Moises #Caicedo. Info x@AbdellahBoulma."

football.london reported earlier this year that Arsenal are indeed interested in the former Monaco midfielder and Edu held a meeting with the player's representatives back in January, although it remains to be seen whether or not a move could be finalised before the summer window closes next month.
