Arsenal transfer theory shared over Leicester City deal after Leeds United 'offer'

Arsenal's pursuit of Youri Tielemans has reportedly been 'cooled' after they confirmed the signing of midfielder Fabio Vieira.

Mikel Arteta's side have long been admirers of the Foxes midfielder and have been heavily linked with a move to land him this summer. Tielemans' contract at the King Power Stadium expires next summer and there has been reports of him extending his stay in LE3 by a further year.

The Gunners have already signed Matt Turner from American team New England and Brazilian teenager Marquinhos alongside Vieira and had been backed to add Tielemans to their squad. However, reports from the Athletic have claimed Arsenal have made a formal offer for Leeds United winger Raphinha.

Arsenal are long-term admirers of the Brazilian and will have to overcome interest from Barcelona and Chelsea to sign the 25-year-old. Following the news of their bid for Raphinha, Arsenal fans have been discussing how they feel about the possibility of not signing Tielemans.

Asked whether the move for Raphinha is a risk to their summer plans, Arsenal fans have been sharing their doubts on the move. Here's what some of them have had to say....

Vlahovic all over again? If Leeds are demanding more than £65-£70m fo Raphinha I'd leave it and go for Osimhen.

No, I suppose not. Things can happen really fast and behind closed doors as we've seen lately. Also, I think Arsenal is well prepared for this summer putting into consideration things can also go wrong swiftly, so I don't think it's a massive risk to our summer plans

I don't think interest has been cooled, it's timing. If they're relaxed on Youri (market isn't huge), they see a need to get these two opportunities done quicker before competition gets too hot and then focus on
