This is all well and good for Arsenal if they can get some sort of agreement sorted in the first place. If they don’t, then they’re simply running the risk of missing out on a player who a lot of clubs will fancy.

Tielemans is a class act, of course. We all see it in how he is with the Foxes and he’s been instrumental for Leicester ever since they splashed the cash on him.

Arsenal do need that top class central midfield player you feel. And if they can get Tielemans, either this summer or next, then they’ve probably addressed a big problem.
