Arsenal is no longer keen to add Youri Tielemans to their squad

Tielemans has been superb for Leicester City for much of his time in England.

According to journalist Dean Jones, Arsenal is no longer keen to add Youri Tielemans to their squad.

The North London club have had the Belgian on their shopping list for a long time but they failed to sign him.

Arsenal were waiting to sign him as free agent but it has now been revealed that he does not appeal to them as much as he did in 2021.

Douglas Luiz and Moises Caicedo are also on the wishlist of Mikel Arteta but, Jones reveals they might not fight for Tielemans even when he becomes a free agent in the summer.

He writes on Give Me Sport: “Full background checks of the player have already been observed and there are good references in terms of his character and suitability. Yet as they contemplate how to keep the team moving forwards there needs to be a final decision on whether he can elevate them in terms of European standing.

“The current feeling is that the club will probably look elsewhere for midfield reinforcements, despite the finances attached.”

Tielemans has been superb for Leicester City for much of his time in England and wants to join a bigger club.
