Arsenal target Tielemans: Every player wants to win trophies

Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans admits he wants to be challenging for trophies.

Tielemans is a target for Arsenal and has stated he is ready to leave the Foxes this summer.

Tielemans refused to add more fuel to the talk of a switch to the Gunners but the 25-year-old admits he has his eyes on claiming more domestic silverware.

Tielemans said: “Every player wants that. That is just natural when you are in the game, you want to win trophies.

“That is the best feeling to win trophies. Obviously every player would say the same, definitely."

Tielemans showed just why Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has made him a transfer target when he coolly stroked home Belgium's opener in the 1-1 Nations League draw with Wales on Saturday night.

When asked for an update on his future, Tielemans, who has one year left on his Foxes contract, added: “No sorry. I have expressed myself on that before and there is nothing new. I don't think this is the moment and place to discuss that."
