Leicester City could reportedly now be willing to let Youri Tielemans leave in January for £20m, with Arsenal and Newcastle United interested in signing the Belgian international.
90min claim that the Foxes are willing to cut their losses with Tielemans with the 25-year-old’s contract set to expire next summer, with the report stating that Leicester could accept a bid of less than £20m should Arsenal or Newcastle move to sign the Premier League star.
The update could come as a relief for the likes of Arsenal and Newcastle. The Sun had previously reported that Leicester would only sell Tielemans for £50m even with the midfielder’s current contract situation as it is, and this latest news could push either side to make a bid in the January window.Mikel Arteta’s side chased Tielemans for the majority of the summer, though even with injuries to Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny severally depleting Arsenal’s midfield options, Arsenal chose to push through with their interest in the former AS Monaco star.
