Gabriel Agbonlahor has said on talkSPORT (8:43am, November 11, 2022) that Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal should sign Youri Tielemans from Premier League rivals Leicester City in the January transfer window.
The former Aston Villa striker believes that Arsenal simply have to bring Tielemans to the Emirates Stadium in the middle of the season.
The 25-year-old Belgium international midfielder is out of contract at Leicester at the end of the season.
No new deal is in place at the moment.
Arsenal have been linked with the £120,000-a-week star (SalarySport), but as a free signing in the summer of 2023.
ARSENAL URGED TO SIGN YOURI TIELEMANS
Agbonlahor said: “Tielemans is a must in January.”
COULD A TRANSFER HAPPEN?
In our view, Arsenal are unlikely to be able to sign Youri Tielemans from Leicester City in the January transfer window.
We do not think that the 25-year-old will sign a new contract with Leicester and will leave the former Premier League champions on a free transfer next summer.
Arsenal will have to wait until the end of the season to sign the Belgian star.
Leicester may not be doing particularly well at the moment, but they are a rich and established club in the Premier League who will not be forced to sell any of their best players, especially in the middle of a season.
