Arsenal to Use Bernd Leno in a swap deal to sign Pl proven Midfielder
Bernd Leno have been rumored to be on a brink of a move to Fulham for some while now but recent reports state otherwise as Arsenal want to sign Tielemans and Leicester are in need of a quality goalkeeper.
Arsenal are preparing a player swap deal to bring Leicester’s Youri Tielemans to The Emirates.
The Mirror report Arsenal could be close to sealing a deal, which would see goalkeeper Bernd Leno going in the opposite direction.
Leno will be key in the deal with current Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, who is on the verge of a surprise move to French club Nice.
Tielemans has only one year left on his contract with King Power and has hinted atleaving the Foxes to pursue his career.
United have expressed their interest in the Belgian but have yet to make a formal approach. Arsenal are always on the lookout to sign the midfielder and it increasingly looks like North London will be his next destination.
United are still pursuing the signing of Frenkie de Jong, who remains a priority summer target for Erik ten Hag.
Tielemans would provide a good option for United, should the club turn their attention away from De Jong. The 25-year-old has proven himself in the Premier League and has featured in past matches against United.
Ten Hag identified the midfield as the position most in need of surgery this summer and added Christian Eriksen to his ranks, aiming to add at least one more body.
With other options moving elsewhere, failure to land De Jong could lead to a disastrous opportunity for United, the team that threw all their eggs in that risky basket, The club face an anxious end in front ofthe window and with the season set to begin next Saturday, Erik ten Hag and fans will want clarification on who arrives sooner rather than later.
