Arsenal weren't in action on Sunday afternoon having kicked off the 2022/23 Premier League season on Friday night, but some supporters still tuned into the action for a spot of scouting.
Sandwiched between Manchester United vs Brighton and West Ham United vs Manchester City was Leicester City welcoming Brentford to the King Power Stadium with Brendan Rodgers naming Gunners transfer target Youri Tielemans in the Foxes' starting line-up alongside James Maddison and Wesley Fofana.
Prior to kick-off, some Arsenal supporters came up with a brilliant theory that the Belgium international was making his final appearance in a Leicester shirt amid speculation that he could complete a £25m transfer to the Emirates Stadium before the September 1 deadline.

Whether that theory is proven right remains to be seen, but Tielemans starting on Sunday did provide Gunners fans with a chance to run the rule over the prospective midfield signing - and it's safe to say many on various social media platforms have been impressed with the feedback.
On Twitter, user @sjayy24s uploaded a 2.19-minute clip of the 25-year-old's best moments against the Bees which showed him playing some nice passes, dribbling with the ball, winning fouls, shooting from long range and going close to opening his account for the season with an effort that came back off the post.
Meanwhile, on Arsenal Reddit, Tielemans being named man-of-the-match prompted quite a lot of chatter. Unsurprisingly, the general reaction was that Tielemans passed his unofficial scouting test with flying colours as Mikel Arteta and technical director Edu have been urged to take the first steps to get a deal done by launching a bid.
arbitrary87 said: "Please sign him ASAP before some random team like United or West Ham notices his good performance and comes in for him", GoldenxPharaoh said: "Edu get the BBQ going!" and goodyear_1678 had a clear and concise demand for Edu: "Get it done, Gaspar."
The latest on Tielemans to Arsenal is that personal terms have reportedly been agreed but a bid hasn't been submitted to Leicester City yet and a potential reason for this situation is the Gunners are looking to move on a few players before adding to their first-team squad.
With that said, Lucas Torreira's seemingly imminent move to Galatasaray does pave the way for a move as the Uruguay international's exit will free up a non-homegrown spot for Arsenal which will be very important when it comes to confirming their 25-man Premier League squad after the summer transfer window closes.
