Arsenal are ready to put an end to their long pursuit of Youri Tielemans by making a £30 million bid for the Leicester City star, according to a report from The Sun.

The Gunners have made a number of additions in this window. However, Mikel Arteta is still on the lookout for a midfielder. Tielemans has been at the top of the list for much of the summer.

Reports just before the end of the season claimed that Arsenal were confident of concluding a £40 million deal for the Belgian. However, missing out on Champions League football perhaps threw a spanner in the works.

But now, it seems that a move for Tielemans is back on the cards. And a bid is looking set to be made imminently.

The Sun reports that Arsenal will step up their interest in Tielemans. And they are planning to make a £30 million offer for the 25-year-old.

Tielemans has one year left on his contract at Leicester City. And the Foxes are ready to cash-in rather than lose him on a free transfer next year.

Tielemans is keen to make the move to the Emirates and help push the Gunners towards the top-four.

Signing Tielemans would please a lot of Arsenal fans. His form for Leicester has not been quite as impressive over the last 12 months. But he is still a fantastic player with a lot of quality.

He would not cost the earth for Edu. And he arrives with plenty of Premier League experience under his belt.

Arsenal simply must strengthen their options in the middle of the park before the window shuts. And Tielemans – who has been described as ‘incredible‘ – would tick a lot of boxes ahead of their pre-season really getting going.
