A move to bring Youri Tielemans to Arsenal is reportedly now 'very possible', and Leicester City are expecting an offer to be made 'soon'.

The Lowdown: Tielemans linked

Tielemans has been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium throughout the window, and with the new season starting on Friday night away at Crystal Palace, Mikel Arteta's team could now act on their interest.

They have had to reduce their squad size down in order to fit potential new signings in, with Bernd Leno recently departing for Fulham, while Lucas Torreira and Pablo Mari also look to be on their way out.

The Latest: Offer expected

Taking to Twitter, CBS Sports journalist Ben Jacobs has revealed that the Foxes are expecting an offer for Tielemans 'soon', and a move to North London is now 'very possible':

"Leicester also expect an offer soon for Youri Tielemans. An Arsenal move still very possible despite the lack of offer to date. It’s £30m Leicester now need. Tielemans wants the uncertainty over his future resolved. #MUFC also still interested."

The Verdict: Get it done

Given that the Gunners now know how much Tielemans would cost, and that there is other interest from the likes of Manchester United, they need to make sure that they get this deal done.

Hailed as 'outstanding' by his manager Brendan Rodgers, the central midfielder managed a handy six goals and four assists in the Premier League last season, picking up three man-of-the-match awards and establishing himself as one of Leicester's key players (WhoScored).

Given that he is currently rated at £49.5m by Transfermarkt, picking up the 25-year-old for a mere £30m would be a real coup, and would really elevate AFC's chances of finishing in the top four this term.
