During the summer transfer window, Arsenal's hunt to sign a central midfielder was well documented. One of the names high on Edu's list of targets was Leicester City star Youri Tielemans.
football.london reported during the window that the Belgian was keen on a move to the Emirates Stadium and that he would be willing to see out the last year of his Leicester contract before sealing a move. Though if a rival made an offer this summer, Arsenal would make a move.
The Gunners needed to sign a midfielder due to a lack of depth and quality in the middle of the park, and it was reported that Tielemans would be available for £30m. However, a deal failed to materialise. According to Sky Sports, Mikel Ateta's side 'cooled' their interest in the Belgian towards the end of the window.
