Arsenal reportedly face a battle with Everton and AS Roma to secure Anderlecht starlet Youri Tielemans, while Napoli's Dries Mertens is said to have met with Manchester United representatives.

According to Tuttomercatoweb (h/t Liverpool Echo), Tielemans is expected to leave Anderlecht during the summer after an impressive 2016-17 campaign, and Roma, Everton and the Gunners are all keeping a close eye on the Belgian.

The 19-year-old has long been regarded as a top talent in midfield, and he's enjoyed a breakout season in a more advanced role with 12 goals in the Belgian league already.
