Arsenal ‘favorite’ for Tielemans

Arsenal are “favorites” to sign Youri Tielemans on a free transfer this summer when his contract at Leicester City expires.

The 25-year-old Belgian was heavily linked with the Gunners last year as he entered the final year of his contract.

However, there was no transfer because the foxes stuck to their playmaker.

Manchester United are keen on Tielemans as the ex-Monaco ace prepares to decide his future.

However, Team Talk claim Mikel Arteta’s arsenal are “overwhelming favourites” to get him.

This is despite the fact that the Premier League leaders have signed midfielder Jorginho from Chelsea after failing to sign Moises Caicedo from Brighton.
