Arsenal’s links to Youri Tielemans have been ongoing throughout the summer transfer window without any serious breakthrough. But the recent transfer merry-go-round between Leicester and Lyon seemed to give Arsenal leverage, but this is now under threat.
According to French news outlet Foot Mercato Houssem Aouar, who had previously been close to a move to Arsenal, is now Leicester City’s priority target to replace James Maddison, who has been heavily linked with a move to Newcastle. Sky Sports have reported that the Magpies have registered two bids for the former Arsenal target.
This would have been an ideal move for Arsenal in their Tielemans pursuit, but Aouar has also received further Premier League interest, which disrupts the ideal transfer merry-go-round for Arsenal.
