Youri Tielemans sends Arsenal transfer reminder as Mikel Arteta looks to boost midfield options

Arsenal drew their first Premier League game of the season on Sunday afternoon following a 1-1 draw with Southampton. Despite the result, Mikel Arteta’s side still top the Premier League by two points, but this would have been a four-point gap with victory over the Saints.

A major reason why the Gunners were not able to claim three points from the game was due to the inability to be decisive in the final third and create clear-cut chances for the forwards. Southampton were hardly on the front foot but were clinical when given the chance in front of goal.

This match was played at the same time Leicester City travelled to Wolves, a match in which Youri Tielemans scored a wonderful goal which provided a reminder to Arsenal what they could have if they had the Belgian in their ranks.
