Arsenal have gone cold on Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans.

The Belgium international, with less than a year to run on his deal, is a £30m target for Arsenal and Manchester United.

But Gunners manager Mikel Arteta and technical director Edu have doubts over how the 52-cap Belgium star would fit their team, according to talkSPORT.

They report: "While reports linking Tielemans with a transfer have persisted, it is understood Arteta has not yet told his club to pursue the Belgium international.

"It is over concerns he doesn't have the physical presence the manager is looking for to run his team."

United see Tielemans as an alternative to Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong.
