Mikel Arteta's key problem blocking Youri Tielemans £30m transfer to Arsenal

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta's concerns about Youri Tielemans are blocking the Gunners from pursuing a deal for the Leicester midfielder.

football.london understands Arsenal have held talks with Tielemans' representatives over the last few months, but a formal offer is yet to be submitted to the Foxes. The Belgium international only has a year left on his current deal at the King Power Stadium and would be available for a cut-price fee this summer.

Arsenal are in the market for a new midfielder with Arteta keen to add competition in that area of his squad. However, after being linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium all summer, the manager is said to have reservations over a move for the Leicester star.
