Arsenal News: Arsenal linked midfielder Youri Tielemans talks about his future after the current season
Arsenal News: Youri Tielemans, the Leicester City midfielder who has been linked with a move to Arsenal, has spoken up about his future. Following several spectacular performances for Leicester City, the 24-year-old Belgian international has established himself as one of the most sought-after players in the Premier League.
A statement from Tielemans indicates that he is preparing to take his career to a new level by competing in the UEFA Champions League. The Leicester midfielder, on the other hand, is not in a hurry to decide on his future. Youri Tielemans stated the following in an interview with Het Laatste Nieuws (via Football London):
“I’m not concerned about it. The goal for me this season is to get the most out of myself and help the club finish as high as possible in the standings. Of course, like every other player, I want to compete in the Champions League. Is it possible for me to play for a big European club? I’m eager to make the most of my professional opportunities. It will be interesting to watch what occurs next summer, or the summer after that.”
Youri Tielamans effect:
Youri Tielemans has established himself as one of Leicester City’s most valuable players over the previous two seasons. When the 24-year-old midfielder scored a long-range goal in the FA Cup final against Chelsea last season, he cemented his place in the club’s history. Tielemans was also a member of the side that won the Community Shield the following season. They won it against Manchester City.
As of right now, Tielemans has made 36 appearances for the Foxes this season. Thus, scoring seven goals and assisting on three others in the process.
Rumours connecting Youri Tielemans to a move away from Leicester City have gained momentum as the 24-year-old midfielder has less than 18 months left on his current contract with the Premier League club. Beyond Arsenal, the Belgian midfielder has been linked with a transfer to both Manchester teams (via the Manchester Evening News).
Arsenal News: Arsenal is looking to add a new midfielder to their squad to strengthen their midfield
Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, is looking to add a new central midfielder to his team ahead of the 2022-23 campaign. As things are, Arsenal’s midfield choices are quite restricted at the moment.
Mohamed Elneny, the Egyptian international who plays for Arsenal, has fewer than six months left on his current deal. He may depart the club in the summer. Arteta will now be down to only three players: Thomas Partey, Granit Xhaka, and Albert Sambi Lokonga.
Arsenal will need players as they will most probably play European football next season
Despite this, Arsenal may play some kind of European football after the season. Something that they have been denied for a few seasons. As a result of the additional European games, the Gunners will need more players to be included in their squad.
Arsenal is currently in fourth place in the Premier League rankings. They have accrued 54 points from 28 games played. With a game in hand, they are now three points clear of fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League table.
The fact that Youri Tielemans is not the only midfielder in whom Arsenal is interested should not be overlooked, either. Recent reports have also suggested that Arsenal is showing interest in signing Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo.
