Arsenal is desperately working to clinch the signing of Leicester City and Belgium midfielder Youri Tielemans. According to several reports backing the claim, Arsenal has held ‘positive’ talks with the Tielemans encouraging a summer move to join the club’s building process.
The 25-year-old has informed his camp about his desire to play Champions League football next season and that has put Arsenal in a better position to clinch his signature amidst other suitors like Manchester United who are also reportedly interested in the Belgian’s signature.
Manchester United’s current league position has indicated their inability to qualify for the Champions League next season even though that might change next season as the club welcome their new manager Erik Ten Hag and thrive to get back their Champions League qualification slot, as that would be their priority.
Amidst all the work going on behind the scene, the player, nonetheless, is yet to give his nudge for the move, as he would like to direct his attention on Leicester City before considering anything else.
However, by the end of the season in less than a month, Arsenal’s final league position would have been known and that will prompt his final decision.
Arsenal’s UCL qualification can come earlier than expected if they can snatch the maximum three points against their arch-rival at White Hart Lane who is close behind them on the league table in fifth-placed. A win for the Gunners on Thursday will ensure a top-four finish for the Emirates club, regardless of the outcome of their remaining two games against Newcastle and Everton.
