Youri Tielemans Speaks Out On Leicester Future Amid Arsenal Links

Youri Tielemans has been regularly linked with a move away from Leicester City this summer with the midfielder only having one year left on his contract at the King Power.

Whilst it was believed the Belgian International would target a move to play in the Champions League, Arsenal have emerged as the front-runner for his signature with Mikel Arteta keen to add the 25-year-old to his midfield. It is thought the Midlands club would be prepared to accept a fee of around £25 million this summer with Tielemans eager to move on three years after his £32 million move from AS Monaco.

Further adding to the uncertainty over his Leicester City future, the midfielder has been speaking to the media while on international duty.

When questioned on his plans this summer, Tielemans said: "That is not out of the question. I feel very good at Leicester, I was welcomed with open arms from day one. I give everything for the club until the last day.

"But of course you have to listen to other opportunities, you have to look at your career and sometimes you have to make choices. Maybe one will come my way."

The Belgian has enjoyed a strong three years at Leicester City

With the transfer window set to open on the 10th June, links between the Belgian and Mikel Arteta's Arsenal will likely continue with the North London club clearly keen to test Leicester's resolve. Whether it is the Gunners that Tielemans chooses as his next club remains to be seen, but the general feeling is strongly one of a move away from the King Power this summer for the highly touted midfielder.
