Arsenal target Tielemans ready to leave Leicester

Youri Tielemans is ready to leave Leicester City this summer with Arsenal keen.

Football.London says Tielemans will leave Leicester this summer with the midfielder a target for Arsenal ahead of the transfer window opening. But they are not alone in their pursuit and will have to fend off competition from more than one rival to secure his signature.

Mikel Arteta helped secure Arsenal's return to European football last season, with a summer spending spree launching them to a fifth-place finish. Ben White, Martin Odegaard, Aaron Ramsdale and Takehiro Tomiyasu all played big parts in the campaign and supporters will be hoping to see a similarly effective window again.

Improving strength in depth will be the priority at the Emirates this summer, with midfield unsurprisingly a focal point. While Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey formed a solid unit last term, beyond the duo there was little in the way of quality or experience.
