Tielemans 'snubs Leicester deal in boost for Man Utd, Arsenal and co'

Youri Tielemans has left Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal on alert by reportedly turning down a new contract at Leicester.

Tielemans, 24, has spent the last two-and-a-half years with the Foxes after completing a £40million move from Monaco, registering 23 goals and 22 assists in 135 appearances for the Foxes.

The Belgian is now considered one of the best midfielders in the Premier League, meaning he has been attracting attention from a host of clubs over the past year.

And with potential suitors queuing up to prise him away from Leicester, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano is reporting that he has recently turned down a new contract.

Tielemans has less than 18 months to run on his current deal, which gives the Foxes just one more transfer window to cash in before he can sign a pre-contract agreement with a foreign club in January.

Juventus and Real Madrid are understood to be circling, but Premier League trio United, Liverpool and Arsenal are also keen and could offer him the chance to remain in England.

United desperately need to strengthen their midfield this summer, especially given Paul Pogba looks set to depart Old Trafford on a free transfer in July.

Pogba's departure will leave the Red Devils short of options in the middle of the park, with Scott McTominay, Fred and Nemanja Matic their only natural central midfielders.

Liverpool are still yet to replace Georginio Wijnaldum following his move to PSG last summer, while Arsenal have their eye on a new midfield recruit ahead of Mohamed Elneny's expected departure in the summer. 

In Tielemans, all three teams would be adding a talented young player with sufficient Premier League experience to their ranks.
