Arsenal join hunt for Youri Tielemans

Arsenal are believed to be lining up a January offer for highly-rated Anderlecht midfielder Youri Tielemans.

The 18-year-old impressed for his club during last season's Champions League, and this had attracted interest from several European clubs over the summer.

A report from The Express now claims that the Gunners will have a straight face-off with league rivals Chelsea for the services of the talented youngster in the New Year.

Tielemans is currently rated at around £14m by Anderlecht.
