Mikel Arteta appears to have made a clear decision over the signing of Youri Tielemans at Arsenal this season, if recent reports are to be believed. The Leicester City midfielder continues to be linked with a move to the Emirates this summer, with the manager not ruling out the potential for further additions during the transfer window.
Amid such rumours, football.london understands Arsenal are prepared to wait until Tielemans’ current contract expires to secure the Belgian on a free transfer next summer. The 25-year-old seems unlikely to sign a new deal with the Foxes at this stage, with less than 12 months remaining on his current one.
It comes after an already busy summer for Arteta in the transfer window, having spent over £100million in reinforcements for his squad. The Spaniard got his business done early, but claimed that there may be room for other signings before the end of the window.
