Arsenal to sign Leicester City star this summer?

Arsenal could sign Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans at the end of the campaign, according to journalist Dean Jones.

The Gunners were heavily linked with the Belgian last summer, but they decided against meeting the Foxes' £40m price tag.

They did not return for him during the January transfer window, but are likely to revisit their interest at the end of the current season.

Tielemans will be a free-agent when his Foxes deal expires on June 30 and Jones believes the Gunners will approach to land him.

The north London giants won't be alone in the pursuit of the midfielder, considering there is interest from other English teams.

Manchester United are also long-term admirers of the Belgian star while Newcastle United are likewise keeping tabs on him.

Leicester have not given up on keeping the 25-year-old, but they are facing a losing battle as he has no plans of penning a renewal.

Tielemans is expected to demand around £150,000-a-week at his next club.
