“I think he’ll go” – Arsenal given hope over late midfielder transfer

Posted by

Arsenal could be in luck as it looks like Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans is being tipped to seal a late transfer away from the King Power Stadium.

The Belgium international has shone in his time with Leicester, but it now looks like his time with the Foxes is coming to an end, following plenty of transfer rumours linking him with the Gunners over the summer.

The latest from Belgian outlet Het Nieuwsblad is that Arsenal are expected to step up their interest in the coming days, so this seems like one to watch as Sky Sports now also cast major doubt over the former Monaco man’s future…

See the video clip above as the various reports speaking on Sky Sports News tip Tielemans to move on, though there’s no specific mention of Arsenal, or any other club for that matter.

Arsenal could do with more depth in the middle of the park as Thomas Partey has had his injury problems, while Granit Xhaka and Mohamed Elneny haven’t been particularly consistent.

Tielemans looks ideal to give AFC a bit more quality on the ball and more of a goal threat from the middle of the park.

  1. Xhaka not consistent? Do uou even watch football? He is the most consistent performer over the past 3 seasons

    1. Xhaka has been AFC biggest liABILITY he has ben plqying well this season..but he has always got mistakes in him..penalty giveaways…Red cards…rash tackles and he actually criticized the team for playing the ball sideways…
      HUH….he is the king of sideways passing….and he is the slowest midfielder in the prem….the fact that we miss him when he does not play,says a lot about how poor we are in that position…Elneny is also nowhere near the quality needed…and having to start him again shows how weak we are…These two players would NOT EVEN MAKE THE SQUAD LET ALONE THE BENCH IN THE 2007 TEAM…NEVER MIND THE INVINCIBLES TEAM.

      1. Tilimans has given away more penalties than xhaka last year. But think he would be a goodvsiging.

  2. The trouble is..when Partey and Xhaka play, Arsenal look like title contenders..however, when Elneny comes in for an injury…no matter how reliable he is…Arsenal lack dominance in the centre of the park, and will struggle to finish above 4th.

    1. Complacent is creeping into the the Arsenal dressing Room already and Arteta gets confused if a player gets injured come up with new combinations of players.

  3. Talking about G.X not being consistent simply means you don’t know what you’re talking about.

  4. Jaxon the problem is you on Elneny…he is the one we have and if we need his service he is good he comes in and do his best…he’s no partey or Xhaka am good on what the best he give us

  5. We don’t need Tielemans..we need Ruben neves. Someone that can cover for Partey as well as play beside him in a formidable midfielder duo. Ruben Neves will make us Title challengers.

  6. hello falcon Elny is not the player we need to contest for the top four,for instance look at the last match what did he add to do the party chance was showing in midfield.we don’t need someone that pass ball back all the time,we need someone that has vision and solid in the midfield just like tieleman’s

  7. We need
    Zaha/Neto.. any ofThis guys will improve us greatly
    Savic/Neves/Bousquet despite his age… any of this three are progressive passer and can pick pass.
    A plan B Striker will do e.g a Mitrovic/Giroud type.
    This will help us compete bcos we have added quality depth to the squad

  8. If it is only me, i will advice Arteta to sign Youri Teileman and Leroy Sane. If we can Able to sign these 2 guys, believe in me, we will be one of the strong title contendance.
