Wed 8 February 2023 20:25, UK

Arsenal “still haven’t 🌠ruled out” swooping for Leicester City’s You꧂ri Tielemans, according to Ben Jacobs.

ܫThe CBS journalist told that the Gunners൩ could look to snap the Belgian up on a free transfer this summer.

Links between Arsenal an♔d Tielemans go back months, but despite heavy speculation, the 🧸Gunners haven’t yet made their move.

Indeed, the 25-year-old – whose Foxes contracts expires this summer – is believed to have agreed terms with Arsenal already.

Jacobs has now said Arsenal were reluctant to pay a fee for Tielemans, but now he’s becoming a free agent, he’ll be a “ba🔜rgain”.

“Youri Tielemans is also expected to leave Le൩icester this summerꦺ on a free transfer, barring a U-turn on signing a new deal.

“Leiceste📖r would love to keep him, but Tielemans has been clear for over a year h♍e doesn’t want to extend.

“Arsenal still haven’t ruled out signin🍸g him on a free transfer.

“They were rꦦeluctant to pay a transfer fee over the past෴ two windows, but now the Belgian midfielder is a bargain.

“Newcastle also really li🌟ke Tielemans and Manchester United are one to watch as wel🌊l,” he added.

No-brainer of a signing but Arsenal must beware rival suitors – TBR View

Tielemans is an ‘incredible‘ player who knows the Premier League well and, at 25, has plenty of years🍌 ahead of him.

In 2021, Brendan Rodgers he was “one of 🍨Europe’s best midfielders📖”.

Although Arsenal signed Jorginhꦑo in January, the Gunners could well lo🍰ok for more reinforcements in the summer.

And a player of Tielemans’ calibre, and on a free, would be a no-brainer for Mikel📖 Arteta.

However, Arsenal have strong competitio🌳n in the shape of Manchester United and Newcastle United.

Both have been flying high in the Premier League and would be🦂 equa🐟lly good options for Tielemans.
