Youri Tielemans will undoubtedly be one of the big name players who will be on the move in next summer’s transfer window. The Belgian midfielder’s contract with Leicester comes to an end on 30 June and it seems that he won’t renew terms with the club. The former Anderlecht player is one of the Foxes’ star players and is reported to be seeking a more ambitious project for the future.

According to Belgian publication Voetbal Primeur, Tielemans already has an agreement in place to join Arsenal next season. Mikel Arteta’s team appear to be ahead of clubs like Barcelona, Manchester United and Newcastle in the race for the 25-year-old and a move to Arsenal would be a very attractive prospect considering the great season they are having.

The Gunners are leaders in the Premier League on 34 points, two ahead of Guardiola’s City and barring any major surprises, are well on their way to securing their place in next season’s Champions League - a return to the tournament they last participated in back in 2016/17.
