Leicester City respond to Youri Tielemans message amid Arsenal transfer talk

Leicester City have shown their appreciation for Youri Tielemans after the midfielder thanked supporters on social media.

While nothing has been confirmed, it is widely expected that Tielemans has played his final game for City after being heavily linked with a transfer away this summer. The Belgian has been tipped to join Arsenal, while the likes of Liverpool and Man United have also expressed their interest.

Tielemans took to social media after ending the season with a 4-1 win over Southampton to send a message to the supporters. On Instagram he posted: "What a game to end the season! Thanks to all the fans for the support!"

City responded to the post with two emojis of hands up in praise, while supporters flooded the comments section with messages. "Thanks for the memories, Youri. Just don’t go Arsenal," said one. Another wrote: "Thank you for everything Youri, we love you."

Speaking during the March international break, Tielemans said he wasn't worrying about his future. He said: "I don't worry about it. I want to get the most out of myself this season and finish as high as possible with the team. Of course I want to play in the Champions League, like any footballer.

"Am I ready for a European top club? I'm ready to get the best out of my career. We'll see what happens next summer, or the summer after that.”
