The Gunners are starting to get busy with their transfer market activities again as the days count down. Mikel Arteta is still keen to add a new midfielder and a winger to his side with consistent changes in the Youri Tielemans saga and Edu’s attempts to strengthen the wide areas.
Tielemans is understood by football.london to be in a position whereby he would accept a move to the Emirates Stadium for free next summer. Though if a rival made an offer this summer, Arsenal would make a move.
With just a couple days remaining in the transfer window, it is still up in the air whether or the Gunners will make a late move for the Belgian. So with that said, football.london takes a look at the latest on the transfer saga surrounding the midfielder.

Price tag
Ben Jacobs from CBS Sports reported earlier in the season that Tielemans would be available for £30million. The 25-year-old’s current contract with the Foxes is set to expire in 12 months.
Personal terms agreed
Arsenal have been linked with a move for Tielemans since last summer, so it is no surprise that reports of a deal have intensified once again this year. According to Jacobs, personal terms between the Gunners and the midfielder are already in place.
“Tielemans wants to join Arsenal, and Edu is still in touch with his agent,” he wrote on Twitter. “Arsenal agreed to terms and worked on the deal for a year but never placed an official bid.”
