Leicester are now out of the🐽 bottom three on goal difference, and have a huge six games ahead of th🍬em.

Smith ended up selecting three centre-forwards in 🌠an attempt to try and outscore yesterday’s visitors.

It meant there was plenty of responsibility on Arsenal target Tielemans, and Schwarzer wasn’t sure it was a set-up that benefitted the Belg🦂♒ian.

Originally signed for as one of Europe’s most exciting wonderkids, Tielemans has been bril🧸liant for The Foxes.

However, this season he’s struggled, although that’s the case🀅 for many of his teammates.

Schwarzer disappointed with Arsenal target Tielemans

Talking about the 25-year-old midfielder, : “Little bit disappointing in this ga🌠me for Tieꦫlemans – he hasn’t really been on his game and his bad touch led to Wolves scoring the goal.

“Therꦡe is a couple of ti🐽mes he’s been caught in possession.”

Arsenal were closely linked with Tielemans last sum🧸mer, but a move neve💫r materialised.

He’ll be available on a free transfer in a few months’ time, but Edu is reportedly considering backing out of a move due to his wage demands.

Liverpool have also been linked with the Belgian international, as they prepare for a clear out of their ꧙midfieꦬld options.

Tielemans ꦇmay not have had his best campaign, but he’s still a quality player.

Schwarzer’s concerns over 𒉰Tielemans’s sloppiness might worry Arsenal, but in a better performing sid🙈e that should be less of an issue.

If they can convince Tielemans to reducܫe his wage demands, then he would be a quality option in Mikel Arteta’s squad.

However, if that isn’t an option, Arsenal would be better off 🌟paying a premium for the likes of Declan Rice or Moises Caicedo.
