Leicester are braced for Arsenal to make a final attempt to snap up Youri Tielemans next month before he becomes a free agent.
The Gunners are long-term admirers of the Foxes’ Belgian international midfielder, but have never elected to make a concerted push to take him to north London. But now Tielemans is out of contract in the summer and can speak to overseas clubs from January onwards to agree a pre-contract.
Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers has continued to select his 2021 FA Cup match-winner despite the huge uncertainty over his future. But the Premier League leaders have been monitoring Tielemans’ future closely and are ready to test Leicester’s resolve in January.
