Spurs move to beat dithering Arsenal for Leicester midfielder Tielemans

Tottenham are making a move for Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans.

The Belgium international has a year to run on his contract and declared he will consider his options this summer.

Arsenal have been regarded as favourites for hs signature, but Football.London says Tottenham could make their own attempt to bring Tielemans to north London.

It's claimed that Spurs are long-term admirers of the Leicester ace, and Arsenal could be gazumped by their bitter rivals, who would be able to offer Tielemans the European football that he craves.

Amid the growing interest in Tielemans services, the midfielder himself admitted earlier this week: “That [a move] is not out of the question. But I can also stay. I feel very good at Leicester, I was welcomed with open arms from day one. I give everything for the club until the last day.

“But of course you have to listen to other opportunities, you have to look at your career, and sometimes you have to make choices. Maybe one will come my way."
