Mikel Arteta is planning a busy summer of transfers after landing Fabio Vieira this week. The Portuguese midfielder joins Matt Turner and youngster Marquinhos from Sao Paulo.
Mohamed Elneny has penned a new contract, but Arteta is still looking at adding to his midfield options with the future of Granit Xhaka far from assured.
Leicester midfielder Tielemans has been linked with a move to the Gunners, while Ruben Neves is also understood to be a target.
Tielemans is out of contract next summer, although the Foxes hold a 12-month option on his contract.
And that news will disappoint former Arsenal star Wilshere, who believes Tielemans would by a perfect signing.
He spoke to talkSPORT EDGE and was asked to rate the club’s potential signings out of 10.
“I definitely think he (Neves) has the quality to play for Arsenal. You can see his technical ability and the way he can pass and score from outside the box.
“Arsenal are pretty strong in midfield at the minute but he would definitely improve the squad – 8/10.
“I think Neves is a more of a technician whereas with Youri Tielemans you get a bit more drive and energy going forward.
“If I was going to pick one to go to Arsenal, looking at our midfield and what we could add to improve it, I’d probably go for Youri Tielemans – 9/10.”
Raphinha and Youri Tielemans have the ‘quality’
Arteta is also intent on adding to a forward line which has been depleted after the departures of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacaazette.
Leeds ace Raphinha is the latest man to have caught the eye of the Gunners, with a bid being rejected by the West Yorkshire club.
Gabriel Jesus is understood to be deep in talks with the club over a move from Man City. Tammy Abraham and Richarlison have also been linked.
