Arsenal are reportedly close to securing the services of Youri Tielemans.

According to The Sun, the 40m deal is close to being reached.

The Belgian midfielder’s contract with Leicester City expires on June 30 next year, as there is no agreement reached for renewal.

Thus, the English club is expected to allow the departure of the 25-year-old in the transfer window this summer, so as not to lose him with zero parameters next year.

Arsenal with the transfer of Tielemans aims to increase competition and reinforcement in midfield.
