Chelsea have jumped into the battle for Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans.

The Belgium international is off contract at the end of the season and is a top target for Arsenal ahead of the January market.

However, the Daily Express says Chelsea are now joining the race for Tielemans' signature.

Like the Gunners, Chelsea are willing to slap in a knockdown offer next month to convince Leicester to sell.

This season, the midfielder has played 17 matches, scoring three goals and offering one assist.
