A little about Youri Tielemans

Youri has scored 23 goals in 131 appearances for Leicester City since his loan move from Monaco in January 2019, made permanent for a club record £40m six months later. The 24-year-old has only 18 months left to work on his current contract and it was reported that he turned down an offer for an extension. Arsenal are looking to capitalize on the situation but Leicester City are reluctant to let Youri go this month as they remain hopeful of reaching an extension deal. A summer deal seems more likely, but Arsenal have a contingency plan in place and club officials are also working behind the scenes to try to sign Juve star Arthur on loan.
