There may not be many better ways for Arsenal to potentially celebrate their Champions League return than agreeing a deal for Tielemans.

He has been outstanding for Leicester. And he has been labelled an ‘incredible‘ player during his time in the Premier League.

His contract situation opens the door for a potential bargain move. And it appears that Arsenal are well on their way towards winning the race.

The Gunners do need to improve their midfield options, particularly if they are going to be back in the Champions League next year.

And Tielemans would undoubtedly be an upgrade. It appears that a deal is edging closer.
