Arsenal to launch one final attempt to sign ‘fantastic’ £25m Premier League superstar – will boost Arsenal premier league title hope alive
Arsenal are reportedly set to make one last attempt to sign Leicester City maestro Youri Tielemans in the January transfer window, with the Gunners being linked with the Belgian for some time.
According to the Mirror, the north London side will launch one final bid to land the 25-year-old in the winter market, with Tielemans’ contract set to finish at the end of this season as the midfielder looks ready to enter the free agent pool in the summer.
With a reported asking price of £25m according to Football London, Tielemans could be a sensational transfer for Arsenal given the Gunners’ need for a central midfielder in January, and this latest update seems to indicate that one final offer is on the agenda.
Lauded as ‘fantastic’ by Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers as per the Daily Mail, Tielemans is regarded by many in the Premier League as one of the best in the division and a player that would settle well at many of the top clubs.
However, a transfer is yet to happen for Tielemans despite the midfielder’s incredible performances and achievements for Leicester over the years, which could give Arsenal confidence that they can sign the Belgian in January.
Indeed, Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal currently sit top of the Premier League standings. And as a result, Tielemans could be very tempted to swap Leicester for north London given how likely it is that the Gunners will finish in the top-four come the end of the season.
Squad depth has always been a big problem for Arsenal over the years, which is why signing a player as good as Tielemans would be such a game-changing move for the north London side, with the midfielder an exceptional replacement for the likes of Granit Xhaka or Martin Odegaard.
And this seems to be why Arteta is targeting the midfielder, with Tielemans offering something exceptional from the ranks that Arsenal haven’t had in years, and this in turn could lead the Gunners to an unlikely Premier League triumph come the end of the season.
