Alan Hutton is convinced that Youri Tielemans will do well at Arsenal if he moves to the Emirates.
Reports have linked the midfielder with a move to the Gunners for a long time and the links are still there with just a few more days to go.
The Gunners have remained active in the transfer market and that is a clear sign they could still make a few more signings.
Tielemans has informed Leicester City that he wants to leave and the Foxes are willing to allow him to go.
However, it must be at the right price and it remains unclear if Arsenal will pay a good fee for his signature.
Tielemans has been in fine form since he moved to Leicester and he will make a step up if he moves to the Emirates.
Hutton admits it is hard for anyone to break into the current Arsenal team, but he insists Tielemans will thrive there.
He tells Football Insider:
“Again, I think he adds quality. It’s not about bringing in another number. I think he makes the team better.
“He will be a big signing for Arsenal.
“He’ll have his eyes on playing week in, week out and I think he can do that there.
“No disrespect to Leicester but he’ll have better players around him and he can flourish there, he’s a fantastic footballer.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Considering the clubs interested in a move for him, Tielemans is a top player and he will benefit our squad.
In these last days of the transfer window, Leicester could reduce their asking price for his signature and that should make it easy for us to add him to the group.

OK,if it’s to play b2b,but to play as DM I believe Alneney has got better defensive attributes.
Arsenal should please sign Tielemans he can be a replacement when partey is injured. They have to submit a bid to get him 🙏.
Their is a wonderful DM playing for Atalanta
Teun koopmeiner who I really wish Arsenal could sign he has wonderful working rate has good passing range press resistant and will improve our first team
I do not believe that Tielemans is being seriously considered by Edu. Firstly the asking price will be more that we will want to pay. I also think that Leicester will want to keep him as they have not got a replacement for him at this time. Also I am not convinced that he will want to come to us. Arteta will not, in my opinion, guarantee him a starting place and Tielemans will want to play to ensure his fitness for the Belgium world cup squad. Also I am not sure that he would improve the team as many seem to think he would.
Buy him for £15m if it doesn’t workout sell him for a profit next season. He can play in both English cups and EL
Rumoured that Liverpool are expressing an interest and Leicester now trying to play one side off against the other – asking for £40m now.
Liverpool may just be playing games though, trying to stop the transfer or up the price.
Also, re comments above about a DM… I’m not sure Arsenal really plays with a DM any more.
