Arsenal News Transfer: According to statements made by Chris Sutton on BBC Radio 5 Live Sport, he believes that Youri Tielemans has had his “mind twisted” in the direction of moving to Arsenal amid transfer rumours involving Leicester City.
The former striker in the Premier League believes that Youri Tielemans “won’t be at Leicester” next season. The “huge rumour” is that Arsenal wants to buy him this summer. [ Arsenal News Transfer ]
It was speculated in the past that Tielemans would already be playing for the Gunners in north London if they had been successful in qualifying for the Champions League for the next campaign.
However, even though the club will only be playing in the Europa League, Mikel Arteta and the rest of his teammates are sure that they will be able to bring the 25 million pound star to the Emirates. Sutton is nearly clear that the Belgian technician will not be wearing the colours of Leicester City Football Club for the next season no matter where he winds up playing. [ Arsenal News Transfer ]
Sutton said, “He has got his head twisted. [Original phrase] He will not be present in Leicester (next season). That is the most widespread gossip, isn’t it? (Tielemans to Arsenal). The simple truth is that if he wanted to continue playing for Leicester, he would have renewed his contract long ago.”
Arsenal News Transfer: Will Tielemans start for Arsenal?
The majority of the time, Arteta will play two sitters. Either Martin Odegaard or Emile Smith Rowe will be the ones playing more forward in the midfield three positions.
If Tielemans signs on, then he will compete for regular starting roles alongside Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey. The question is, who will he push ahead of the pack?
It won’t be Partey because he is the defensive mind of that midfield. It won’t be Odegaard either. He is more offensive than Tielemans and is better placed further up the pitch than Arsenal’s next possible signing. However, Odegaard will get the nod over Tielemans. He is better placed further up the pitch than Arsenal’s next possible signing.
The only player left is Xhaka, who, even though Tielemans can start ahead of him regularly, should not be overlooked due to his significance to the team. The club’s former captain was one of Arsenal’s best players during the previous campaign. It is imperative that this fact not be forgotten. [ Arsenal News Transfer ]
So, what is in store in Tieleman’s future?
The Foxes do not want to risk losing Tielemans for anything in the summer of 2023. They have never wavered in their belief that the midfielder would re-sign with the club for the following season, even if a transfer fee could not be agreed upon that satisfied both parties. [ Arsenal News Transfer ]
According to sources who spoke with Sky Sports News, Leicester and Tielemans have maintained open and friendly lines of contact. Their relationship is characterized by a high level of respect for one another.
