Arsenal given transfer chance for 'next Patrick Vieira' amid Edu target's Real Madrid desire

Youri Tielemans’ desire could prove to benefit Arsenal in the transfer market. The Belgian reportedly sees Spain as his next move, which could give Arsenal less competition in the race to sign Aurelien Tchouameni.

According to the Daily Mail, Tielemans has set his heart on a move to Spain with Real Madrid being previously linked to the midfielder. This is despite interest from Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham.

Tchouameni plays in the same position as Tielemans and has also been heavily linked to Real Madrid, but if the Belgian joins Los Blancos, it would certainly give Arsenal more of a chance in signing Tchouameni.
