Manchester United tipped to seal Leicester City transfer as Arsenal lead race

Your latest Leicester City headlines brought to you by LeicestershireLive on June 4...

Leicester City are set to lose out on one of their summer targets as Christian Eriksen's future looks set to be sealed after weeks of talks.

The Danish midfielder is a wanted man after signing for Brentford in January on a six-month deal upon his return to football earlier this season. The 30-year-old suffered a cardiac arrest during Euro 2020 last summer, but made a remarkable return to action after being fitted with an internal defibrillator.

Eriksen caught the eye of clubs across Europe with his performances for the Bees, with him also returning to Kasper Hjulmand's Denmark side in March - scoring in fixtures against Netherlands and Serbia.

Previously, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano said that Brendan Rodgers' side were 'really interested' in signing Eriksen in the summer, but Antonio Conte's Tottenham Hotspur have also pondered the opportunity of a reunion with the midfielder.

However, according to reports from Sky Sports, Brentford have offered the Dane a long-term contract and are awaiting his reply about extending his spell in West London.

Arsenal lead the bookies' odds to sign Leicester City ace Youri Tielemans this summer, but the Gunners will face stern competition to do so.

Tielemans, 25, has scored 24 goals and contributed another 24 assists in 158 appearances since signing from Monaco - initially on a loan deal - back in January
