Arsenal chiefs have gone cold on a January move for Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans.

Tielemans has less than six months remaining on his deal with Leicester and is free to negotiate a pre-contract with overseas clubs.

That means he could be available for a cut-price fee this month with a number of team keen.

However, Football.London are now reporting that the Gunners “are not thought to be keen".

With striker Gabriel Jesus ruled out through injury, Mikel Arteta is desperate to bring in reinforcements during the January transfer window for table-topping Arsenal.

Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhailo Mudryk has emerged as his No1 target.
