Arsenal prepare 'FINAL attempt' to sign Youri Tielemans this January... with Leicester 'able to recoup HALF' of what they paid for the Belgian midfielder before he becomes a free agent in 2023

Arsenal are reportedly preparing a 'final attempt' to sign Youri Tielemans from Leicester City this January.

While the Foxes have been reluctant to let go of the 25-year-old, with Brendan Rodgers continuing to play the midfielder this season, he is in the final months of his contract which will expire in June 2023.

According to James Nursey at the Mirror, it appears the Midlands club could be willing to part ways with the Belgian superstar for up to £20m, 'half the price' they paid for him in 2019.
