Youri Tielemans transfer delay is due to one Arsenal concern

Posted by

Arsenal are reportedly yet to make a transfer bid for Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans due to concerns over the player’s physicality.

The Belgium international has been a star player for Leicester in recent years, and it makes sense that he’d be on the radar of Arsenal and other big clubs this summer, particularly as he’s nearing the end of his contract at the King Power Stadium.

Tielemans will be a free agent in a year’s time, so could surely be a bargain signing for top clubs this summer, so it’s slightly surprising to see an apparent lack of suitors for the 25-year-old.

Arsenal apparently have one concern, and that’s relating to the player’s physicality, according to a report from talkSPORT.

This seems rather surprising as Tielemans has shown he’s perfectly capable of competing in the Premier League, so could surely do a job for Arsenal in a position they’re not exactly that strong in anyway.

Gooners will hope their club doesn’t dither for too much longer or they surely risk missing out on a top talent in what could be a very affordable deal.

    1. Very surprising that Arsenal are prioritizing signing Arhur Melo ahead of Tielemens. Tielemens has been tried and tested in the premier league and has proved himself to be a top player while the same can’t be said about Melo who might come and struggle. If Arsenal fail to sign Tielemens, they would have lost a gem of a player. Wherever he will, he will be a star. Moreover he is available on the cheap.

      1. Arthur melo is a baller, niga…. This a tactical team that arteta is building and melo is like the XAVI you can see

  1. Mr writer, who hinted you , that is because of his physicality delaying Arsenal from making a bid for him… Please stop creating stupid stories.

  2. Tielemans is the only missing piece, I take my time browsing to check if a bid has been made to secure his signature. Plz arsenal why to look far n yet tielemans is just before u here???

  3. I am sorry he Tilemens is a class player please Arsenal sign him he would be a great addition to our team.

  4. Please edu or arteta we need tielemans. Plsss do something before it’s too late.he is a fighter and good on pressing which arsenal is looking for that strength for decades.

  5. And Arsenal haven’t always known this about Tielemans? Go on, admit it you made up the Tielemans to Arsenal story and are now having to save face.

  6. how arsenal concern the physicality of tielemens most of arsenal players are not physical able as that of tielemens
    please sign tielemens we want to see his quality in arsenal

  7. In my opinion the murmuring of tielemans so called lack of physicality is so far from the mark. He’s played in the Premier league for quite some time. I’ve seen him on many occasion press and win the ball in the final third, and also act as a deep lying eight. He’s a very accomplished player. He can create he’s got a fantastic shot, and he can tackle. What’s not to like. He’s top class. That’s why he’s had so many caps for Belgium.

  8. The boy is proven in the Premier League, up to speed and ready to go, come on Arsenal, sign him quickly.

  9. Is Fabio Viera more physical than him? Stop making stupid excuses and sign him.

  10. Physicality? Stop confusing us (fans), Fabio Vieira was brought with injury what do you mean? Bring Tielemans he will add some quality. We’re so disparate to see in our club

  11. The only missing piece we are lacking is tielemans..he could have been our first signing..i dont know why arteta and edu are taking long..plz snap him asap before spuds or manure come knocking…

  12. come on gunners it will be a great plus if arsenal should get tielemans signature.we need strong players to add up to ones in arsenal squad.come on you gunners
