Leicester City's Youri Tielemans has the perfect opportunity to impress the Arsenal camp on Saturday when the Foxes travel to north London for their Premier League clash at the Emirates stadium.
Arsenal have been closely monitoring the Belgian after he entered the last year of his contract, presenting Mikel Arteta and technical director Edu with an opportunity to snap him up in a cut-price deal. The Gunners were initially expected to firm up their interest in the opening weeks of the summer window, but the addition of Fabio Vieira and the lack of departures at the time led to minimal progress.
The club established contact with Tielemans' representatives a few months ago and are believed to be well positioned on personal terms, however, football.london understands Arsenal are now prepared to wait until his current deal expires in order to secure the 25-year-old on a free transfer.
