Arsenal lead race to sign Youri Tielemans

Arsenal reportedly seem ready to try to win the race to sign Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans, according to a report.

The 24-year-old has been linked with a move away from the East Midlands outfit throughout the season, and he recently admitted that he has a desire to play in the Champions League.

The Belgian international is out of contract at the King Power Stadium in 2023, and the Foxes could look to cash in on him rather than risk losing him on a free transfer next year.

According to The Sun, the Gunners are currently leading the race to sign Tielemans, despite the fact that Man United are also keeping close tabs on the midfielder.

Despite the speculation about Tielemans’ future, the playmaker has remained a key part of Leicester, contributing six goals in 22 Premier League appearances this term.
