Mikel Arteta is expected to sign a new central midfielder this summer as he looks to strengthen his squad for next season.
The Gunners finished just outside the top four last season, but this is unlikely to affect their summer transfer plans. Arsenal have already signed Matt Turner and Marquinhos, while Alexandre Lacazette, Mate Guendouzi, and Konstantinos Mavropanos have all left the club on permanent contracts.
The Gunners are reportedly in contact with Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans' camp, with the Belgian midfielder entering the final year of his contract. Arsenal and Tottenham have both been linked with the 25-year-old, who has made over 100 appearances for Leicester since joining on a free transfer from Monaco on an initial loan deal in 2019.
According to HLN via KTH, the Gunners have remained "in contact" with Tielemans' camp while Leicester awaits an official bid for the midfield playmaker. According to the report, some Arsenal officials are "convinced" that a deal with Leicester City can be reached quickly after the international break.
Despite not playing his best football last season, the 25-year-old was a key player under Brendan Rodgers, making 50 appearances, scoring seven goals and registering five assists. Tielemans is a priority target for the Gunners as Arteta looks to improve competition and quality across the board ahead of the 2022/23 season.
Leicester City are reportedly seeking a fee of around £30 million for Tielemans, with the Belgian refusing to sign a new contract at the King Power Stadium and the club wishing to avoid losing the talented midfielder on a free transfer next summer. Tielemans joined Leicester for £40 million in 2019 and has made 158 club appearances in all competitions since then.
