Italian football journalist and transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has now dropped an exciting Arsenal claim on Youri Tielemans.

The Lowdown: Offer expected

As per The Sun, the Gunners have now stepped up their interest in signing the 25-year-old and are ready to make a firm offer for the Leicester City midfielder.

It is claimed that the north Londoners are confident of sealing a £30m deal, despite facing competition from both Newcastle United and Manchester United for his signature.

The Latest: Romano's claim on Tielemans

Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, Romano has now claimed that, 'in the coming days or weeks', Mikel Arteta's side could decide what they want to do for Tielemans.

The Italian outlined: “There is still no proposal, so maybe they will go step by step in the market and decide in the coming days or weeks what they want to do for Tielemans.”

The Verdict: Exciting

It is certainly exciting to hear that the Tielemans saga could be concluded soon, and it seems as if Arsenal could get their man if they play their cards right.

They seem to be the only club readying an offer for the Belgium international, and they have reportedly already agreed personal terms with the 25-year-old.

Hailed as a ‘top class player’ by none other than four-time Premier League title-winner and Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, Tielemans ranked as the Foxes' sixth-best performer in the top flight last season, racking up six goals, four assists and three man-of-the-match awards (WhoScored).

It would be ideal for the Gunners to get this deal over the line before the new campaign starts in four weeks' time.
