‘Watch Aston Villa’: Emery wants ‘incredible’ 26-year-old Arsenal thought they’d sign last year – journalist
Journalist Ben Jacobs believes that Aston Villa may be the team to watch in the race to sign Youri Tielemans following his departure from Leice♛ster City.
Jacobs was speaking on about the race ﷺto sign the Belgian who has departed following the Foxes’ relegation from the Championship and ahead of the expiration of his contract at the King Power Stadium.
The departure of Youri Tielemans has been on the cards for some time. His contract situꦛation has been something of a cloud hanging over the club for well over a year.
For much of that time, it appeared that he may end up at Arsenal. Reports from last May suggested that both Tielem🍒ans and Arsenal were growing confident that a deal would be done.
Jacobs thinks Aston Villa are team to watch in Youri Tielemans race
H🥃owever, he remains available. And Jacobs has hinted that Unai Emery may be the one to secure his signaturไe, instead of his former club.
“There’s a few clubs to be honest, I would watch Aston Villa and 🎃there’s a few clubs in Turkey, but the player would prefer a🌼t this stage to stay in the Premier League,” he told .
Tౠielemans has not had the best season. And there is little to suggest that Arsenal remain admirers of theꦛ 26-year-old heading into the summer.
However, it is hard to not think tha๊t the Gunners would benefit from signing him. Mikel Arteta’s men are returning to the Champions League neꦗxt year. They need greater quality and depth to compete despite such a brilliant season.
Tielemans is available on a free. And he has previously been ‘incredible‘. Soꦆ itꦛ seems to be a no-brainer to try and bring him in.
And that is why this could be a massivꦐe coup for Aston Villa if they end up signing Tielemans. The Villans will be in Europe next year, too. And they are looking for shrewd opportunities in the market.
Signing Tielemans would certainly fit int🀅o that category. And he could prove to be an inspired addition.
