Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has ruled out the January sale of Arsenal transfer target Youri Tielemans. The Belgian is open to leaving the Foxes in June on a free transfer after turning down countless new offers and has been linked with a possible January move to north London.
The Gunners were heavily linked with Tielemans in the summer and it's understood that the Belgian is keen on a move to the north Londoners. However, football.london reported in the summer, before the transfer window closed in September, that Arsenal were prepared to wait until his contract expires to avoid paying any sort of transfer fee.
Reports last week insisted that the Gunners were to push ahead with their interest in the 25-year-old in the January transfer window as part of technical director Edu's plan to improve Mikel Arteta's side. Arsenal are top of the Premier League and truly find themselves in a title battle with Manchester City, ultimately forcing the recruitment strategy to be re-thought to improve Arteta's squad.
