Youri Tielemans transfer latest: Leicester City face 'delay' as Arsenal rumours continue

A lot has been said over the future of Youri Tielemans over the last few months.

The midfielder is the subject of increasing speculation with his performances for City catching the eye of a number of clubs over the past couple of seasons.

The Belgian joined the Foxes, initially on loan, from Monaco in January 2019 before making the move permanent in a deal in the region of £40million.

He etched himself into the club's history books last season by becoming the first Leicester City player to score the winning goal in an FA Cup final with his memorable strike against Chelsea being the difference between the two sides back in May.

However, with less than 18 months to left on his deal at the club, clubs are starting to circle for City's 'star man.' Premier League rivals Arsenal remain keen on the midfielder, with two other clubs are also said to be in the race.

Here is the latest on the midfielder's future.

The 2021/22 campaign has been finished for over a week now and the future of Tielemans seems more likely to be away from the King Power Stadium.

According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal remain interested in signing the midfielder, but the deal may take time to be concluded.

He tweeted: "Arsenal are still interested in Youri Tielemans, plans have not changed. He's a target for the midfielder - but it's not an imminent deal as negotiations will take some time.

"Two other clubs are also in the race for Tielemans, he's gonna leave Leicester this summer."

In March, Tielemans admitted he "does not worry" about speculation linking him with a move away from the King Power Stadium.

Speaking whilst on international duty with Belgium ahead of a friendly with Ireland in Dublin, Tielemans told Het Laatste Nieuws
