Arsenal have recently cooled their interest in signing Youri Tielemans from Leciester City. However, his impressive defensive statistics shows why the Gunners should still be pursuing a deal for the midfielder.

Tielemans is a player who is not notoriously known for the defensive side of his game, and is often criticised for this. But, his key tackling statistics in the Premier League highlights why Arsenal should still attempt to pursue a deal.
