Edu's Arsenal transfer plan for Youri Tielemans after Brendan Rodgers' Leicester admission

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has reaffirmed his stance that the club need to sell players this summer before being able to make signings of their own. The Foxes are yet to make any significant changes to the team this summer, despite a much-needed refresh in the squad.

It comes as a potential boost to Arsenal in their pursuit of Youri Tielemans from the King Power stadium. Discussing the need to sell players this summer, Rodgers told BBC Radio Leicester: "I became aware towards the end of the season that the club would have to balance its books, then of course that becomes very difficult. The club will not look to spend money they don’t have and that is where the club is stable and they will always be very sensible.

"It’s where it’s at. The squad needs to get trimmed. Until that happens, I have to concentrate on the players that I have."
