Tielemans to Arsenal: Can We Wait For Breaking News Throughout the Day? by Sam P
When the winter transfer window opened, Dean Jones predicted that Arsenal would not be quick to sanction a move for Youri Tielemans and that they would have to wait until the end of the window to do so.
Jones back then told Give Me Sport, “The hunch that I get from speaking to people close to this situation is that Arsenal would prefer to just see this situation play out through January and hope he’s still available at the end of it.”
We are hours away from the transfer deadline, and anyone who heard Jones’ claims back then might be wondering if it is time for Arsenal to sign Tielemans from Leicester in the widely anticipated bargain deal he was to be available at, given that he is still months away from becoming a free agent.
According to 90MIN, Gooners should be on the lookout as Tielemans’ move to Arsenal could be breaking news today. “Arsenal are long-term admirers of Tielemans, and they are very much in play to sign him on a free transfer in the summer, but they are considering making an offer as their efforts to land Brighton’s Moises Caicedo look set to come to nothing,” says 90MIN’s Graeme Bailey.
Could a move for Tielemans be fitting if Arsenal’s bid for Caicedo fails?

why do we want to spend 25m on a player with about 3 months left in his contract?
We dont !!!!!!!!
Can Arsenal be sure to get him as a free agent?
Severel clubs will be ready after this season.
I think Asenal should give it a try in this window.
Hopefully so I can take the p1ss out of jon .
Only joking jonny boy ,I think he’s a marvellous player .
Leicester aren’t playing ball, so it will be more likely the summer. Both sides, Arsenal and Tielemans know the score.
DAN All joshing aside, if you really think he is “a marvellous player” as you write, then I wonder whether you would be content for him to start team – in the fantasy scenario that he actually comes and plays.
Or would you be the first to criticise a below par perf?
Entirely academic of coure, as we are not discussing reality, but I simply do not believe you are dozy enough to HONESTLY think him a “marvellous player”.
Don’t you think that IF MA agreed with your view, that we would have already signed him and not risked losing this “marvellous player” to a rival team?
But we have not and will not, as events will show later today. Bet you!
Sarcasm!
Tielemans, the story that keeps on giving 🙁
Hell no, Tielemans is not the answer, Jorginho is okay he may not be as powerful as Casemiro, but he’s a great passer of the ball that could link up well with Zinchenko and make us even more press resistant
A sanction this deal with all things considered.
