Speaking on the Arsenal Analysed YouTube channel, CBS journalist Ben Jacobs has been discussing the Gunners and their interest in Youri Tielemans.

The Belgian midfielder has been linked with Arsenal for absolutely ages now, but, as of yet, there’s been no official approach from the Gunners for the midfielder.

However, as we ented the back end of the transfer window, Arsenal are running out of time to get a new midfielder in, and they could yet turn to Tielemans.

In fact, according to Jacobs, Arsenal are well aware that they can sign Tielemans if they want him.

What’s been said?

Jacobs spoke about Tiekemans and Arsenal.

“Tielemans is the intriguing one because Arsenal have never walked away and it is very clear that the player wants to join Arsenal. Really there’s two things that will happen, either they’ll move and get the player, or they’ll be forced to move because another club comes in. Alternatively, another target could come in in that midfield area and if they bring in another midfield player then Tielemans to Arsenal will be over.

“Arsenal know they can get Tielemans and that’s the main thing.”

An option

Arsenal know that they can get Tielemans if they want him, and that means that he’ll be an option until he signs elsewhere.

The Gunners aren’t necessarily desperate for a midfielder right now. After all, Oleksandr Zinchenko has just arrived and he’s more than capable of playing in the middle of the park, but with Tielemans entering the final year of his contract, it may be worth signing him if he’s available for a bargain fee.

Of course, Arsenal shouldn’t rush into this as a better option may present itself further down the line, but if nothing else crops up, Tielemans would be a fantastic pick-up.
