Leicester plan to stop any Arsenal move for Tielemans

Leicester City are planning on ‘pulling out all the stops’ to sign Youri Tielemans on a permanent deal despite interest from other clubs including Arsenal.

Youri Tielemans is a player who has long been linked with Arsenal.

Back in 2017, the player admitted that he hadn’t considered a move to Arsenal, despite their interest, because they already had ‘top players’.

Now, after a loan move from Monaco to Leicester that has seen him come to the attention of a larger audience, the 21-year-old looks like he will be in demand this summer.

His three goals and five assists in 11 Premier League games for the Foxes have also helped.

Speaking to the media about the player, Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers said: “There will be dialogue between the clubs. He’s clearly a player we would like to work with and I understand the fans enjoy watching a player like that.
