Arsenal transfer chiefs 'in favour' of signing £43m Premier League star this summer

Arsenal transfer chiefs are reportedly in favour of signing Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans in the summer transfer window.

The north Londoners splashed over £140million less than 12 months ago more than any other Premier League side as they opted to sign Aaron Ramsdale, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Ben White, Nuno Tavares, Albert Sambi Lokonga and Martin Odegaard. The likes of Ramsdale, Tomiyasu, White and Odegaard have all been mainstays in Mikel Arteta's starting XI when fit, helping their side to fourth in the current Premier League standings.
