Youri Tielemans may not be joining Arsenal this summer however the opportunity for the club to buy him in future windows remains. The Belgian had been open to a move and football.london understands that the interest from the Gunners was genuine.
However, the club were in no rush to pay over the odds for a player whose contract would expire the following summer. football.london reported that Edu was willing to wait until 2023 to sign the 25-year-old as Arsenal instead have tried to secure a deadline day deal for Aston Villa’s Douglas Luiz.
What is crucial though is that he has stayed at Leicester City and is playing against Manchester United tonight. There had been suggestions that Newcastle United were interested in signing him late in the window.
